Moloch floor light (1970-71) - Gaetano Pesce
Italian architect and designer Gaetano Pesce, against modernism with its rules and strict functionality, creates an absurdly oversized desk light. Moloch Floor Lamp is a prime example of his subversive style made of anodized aluminum to create an adjustable stand paired with a painted aluminum shade and base. Why it’s iconic: The Anti-Designers subverted the fundamental principles of design – such as scale, and the Moloch is one of the wittiest examples.
