The Square Love Lamp by Willy Rizzo is a playful tribute to love and romance. When in a flirtatious mood, Willy would cover the lamps in the room with a scarf to create a warm, softer atmosphere. Hence the Love Collection of lighting fixtures. The lamp’s structure is cleverly designed in a way that it can be covered with any type of fabric without the risk of setting it on fire. “I love lamps because the light is so favourable to flirting. It’s also a gradual light: It moves between brightness and shadow and has a sense of mystery.” Willy Rizzo, 1971.
“I’m a photographer who makes furniture.” Willy Rizzo was keen to point out that he wasn’t a designer. Friend of the jet set and Hollywood’s A-list -including the ineffable Billy Wilder- he was one of the most sought-after photographers of his time. And he loved his job. His successful stint as a designer happened almost by accident: “I needed to furnish my new home in Rome, and I couldn’t find anything that matched my taste. I didn’t like all that psychedelic trend of the time, nor did I want Scandinavian design. So, I decided to do it myself ». What started as a small, rather amateurish venture quickly turned into a successful business. Rizzo designs were soon to be found in the homes of Salvador Dali, Brigitte Bardot, Otto Preminger, and Vincent Minelli, to name but a few. “I never tried to sell my designs; however, the friends who used to come to my home, when seeing my “works”, would want to buy them: And how could I say no? » The great photographer/designer sadly passed away in 2013, but his unique furniture pieces live on, gracing the homes of a new generation of design aficionados.
