eBay watch: Reissued Harvey Guzzini Sorella space age table lamp by Nemo

Sor1

Not the first time we've featured the design, as the Sorella table lamp by Harvey Guzzini has been something of a space age holy grail in the past. Not so anymore, as Nemo has bought the rights to this classic 1970s lamp and is selling official reissues right now.

Which essentially means much the same lamp for a fraction of the cost – these angled lamps tended to go for hundreds on eBay on good condition. If you aren't familiar with the Sorella, you don't watch enough old films and TV – this 1972 'Studio Tecnico Harvey' design featured prominently in the likes of Space 1999 and James Bond's Moonraker and still retains that futuristic look today.

Best of all with the new ones is the colour, no age discolouration here and of course, all the electrics will be checked and ready to go. Not too many sellers around in the UK, but Glasgow-based Spatial Lighting are official Nemo dealers and have stock of the new light right now, which they are selling at a fixed price online via eBay. A little cheaper than most too at £120. See the lamp 'in action' in Space 1999 over the page.

eBay watch: Harvey Guzzini 1970s tulip-base table lamp

Guz

An interesting design that's certain to be popular on eBay, this Harvey Guzzini 1970s tulip-base table lamp.

The rarer Guzzini designs are always sought after and this is likely to be one. The sellers believes it is rare and I've not seen one like it myself. It is a Guzzini – the label is still on  it, on the white inner of the perspex shade, which is a 'caramel' colour on the outside. The base is brushed steel.

According to the seller, it is in 'excellent condition' and 'perfect working order', with three bulbs required for full illumination. If you want it, bidding right now is at £38.25.
