Floor Lamp Bud Harvey by Harveiluce Guzzini, 1970

The Bud floor lamp by Harvey Guzzini, produced in the 1970s by Harveiluce Guzzini, is a quintessential example of Italian Space Age design. Standing at approximately 170cm tall with a 50cm diameter shade, this lamp features a distinctive double dome diffuser crafted from milky white acrylic, accented with a metallic edge. The central structure comprises a chromed metal rod, culminating in a round base, also finished in chromed metal. The design not only provides ambient lighting but also serves as a sculptural statement piece, reflecting the innovative use of plastics and modern materials characteristic of the era.

Harvey Guzzini, founded in 1959 by the Guzzini brothers, was at the forefront of integrating new materials like methacrylate plastic into lighting design. Collaborations with designers such as Luigi Massoni led to iconic creations, including the Bud lamp. The company’s evolution from Harvey Creazioni to iGuzzini illuminazione in 1981 marked its commitment to innovation and design excellence.

Today, the Bud floor lamp remains a sought after collector’s item, celebrated for its timeless design and the warm, diffused light it emits. Its presence in various modern art museums underscores its significance in the history of lighting design.​
