Kalkeriet Contemporary is delighted to present the Blitz table lamp, an innovative design by renowned Italian designer Francesco Trabucco for Codiceicona, the prestigious Italian brand. The Blitz lamp is a dynamic piece, capturing the essence of speed and precision. Its design, characterized by the cutting and bending of sheet metal, is a visual statement that seamlessly integrates form and function. The lamp's clean lines, stark silhouette, and prominent black cable exemplify a modern, minimalist aesthetic, transforming it into a graphic image that is as much art as it is a light source.

Francesco Trabucco is a celebrated figure in the world of design, with his works included in the permanent collections of prestigious institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, and the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. His influence extends beyond his creations; he has played a pivotal role in shaping design discourse through his direction of the Italian section for two editions of the Milan Triennale.

Trabucco's contributions to the field have been recognized through his long-standing involvement with the ADI (Industrial Design Association), Confindustria, and the Chamber of Commerce of Milan, where he serves as a permanent member of the Design Jury. In addition to his practical work, Trabucco is a prolific author, contributing numerous publications, books, and scientific articles to the field of design.

Currently, Francesco Trabucco holds the title of Professor Emeritus of Industrial Design at the Milan Polytechnic Institute, where he coordinates the PhD in Design Research and has directed the Master's programs in Design Engineering & Innovation and Design for Architecture. His academic and professional achievements underscore his enduring impact on the evolution of design both in Italy and globally.
