Description:
The Bloc T is the table lamp version of the Bloc series, designed by Rodolfo Dordoni (1954–2023) for Flos. The shade is built like a kit: individual panels of frosted polycarbonate are joined by transparent clips to form an octagonal cylinder that softly diffuses the light. It rests on a metal tube that curves down from the shade and closes into a round ring at the base. Dordoni was an architect and designer based in Milan who worked for numerous renowned Italian manufacturers, including Flos, Artemide, Foscarini and Venini.

Very good vintage condition.

Product Safety
This lamp is an original vintage piece. Prior to sale, a visual and functional inspection was carried out (cable, plug, socket, strain relief) as well as a test run. It has not been comprehensively tested in accordance with current VDE standards. Due to its age, the electrical components may pose risks (e.g. aged insulation, missing earth conductor). Before connecting to the 230V mains, it is therefore strongly recommended to have the lamp inspected and, if necessary, updated by a qualified electrician. Use is at the owner's own risk.
