Mid-century Italian classrooms ran a single fixture above each row of desks, a stepped opal globe held by a brass cap. The same lamp showed up in Roman brasseries, in Milanese chemists, in the small bars near the Arno. SCOLA No.01 returns that schoolhouse silhouette with no irony and no shortcuts. The glass is mouth-blown, the brass is aged, and the cord still twists in the old way.
Each shade is blown into a stepped opal mold, the milky white pulled until the seams disappear. The brass cap is finished in aged patina, with the flat-head screws left visible against the gallery edge, an industrial detail that Italian schoolhouse fitters never bothered to hide. The cord is brown twisted fabric, the kind that wrapped Edison-era pendants in every cafe along the Po. The canopy matches the cap.
SCOLA No.01 ships in two sizes. The small reads at 7¾ in across by 7 in tall (Ø 20 x H 18 cm). The large jumps to 11¾ in across by 10¾ in tall (Ø 30 x H 27 cm). The cord is adjustable for pendant drop, or shortened for a low-profile flush mount. Wired for 36V low-voltage with a compatible driver, and pre-set for smart compatibility (Mijia ecosystem). Smart features remain optional, the lamp works on a wall switch alone.
Hang the small version in a stairwell, the kitchen, or above a bedside table. The large reads as a single statement above a dining table or restaurant counter. Run three of the small SCOLA in a row above an island for a quiet schoolhouse rhythm. Pair with the OVIA amber pendant for a contrast in glass color, or with the TONDO travertine ring pendant for material counterpoint.
