Description
The Cattelan Italia Wanted Floor Lamp is a floor lamp of incredible elegance that integrates naturally into a living space of modern character — a sculptural, vertically stacked light object whose defining feature is a series of balloton artistic glass diffusers, each a hand-worked glass sphere of warm, enveloping luminosity, arranged vertically along a slender Black Embossed metal pole to create a luminous column of extraordinary refinement. The stacked balloton glass diffuser construction of Wanted produces an illumination of extreme sophistication — each individual glass sphere contributing its own pool of warm, diffused light — building collectively to an intimate, emotional, and expressive atmosphere that transforms the living area around it. Wanted is offered in two height formats: A — Ø35×165h cm for full floor lamp scale and B — Ø35×79h cm for a lower-set bedside or accent lamp format. The balloton glass lampshades are available in three artistic glass colourways — Ambra, Madreperla, and Verde Pavone — each producing a distinct chromatic and atmospheric quality. Made in Italy by Cattelan Italia.
Key Features
- Stacked Balloton Glass Diffusers — Luminous Column of Refined Elegance: The vertically stacked series of balloton artistic glass spheres, each hand-worked using a traditional Venetian glass technique, creates a luminous column producing illumination of extreme sophistication — each sphere contributing its own warm, diffused light zone and building collectively to an intimate, emotional, and expressive atmosphere.
- Two Height Formats — A (165h cm) and B (79h cm): Version A at Ø35×165h cm is a full-height floor lamp for living areas and reading corners. Version B at Ø35×79h cm is a lower-set format suited to bedside use and accent lighting, or as a pairing element alongside Version A.
- Three Artistic Glass Colourways — Ambra, Madreperla, Verde Pavone: Ambra delivers a warm honeyed amber luminosity; Madreperla produces a soft, iridescent pearl-white light of nacre-like delicacy; Verde Pavone creates a dramatic cool peacock green chromatic aura when illuminated.
- Black Embossed Frame — Dark Textured Structural Counterpoint: The vertical pole and all connecting hardware are finished in Black Embossed, a richly micro-textured dark metal that absorbs light and creates a receding structural presence, allowing the luminous glass diffuser spheres to dominate the composition.
- Incredible Elegance for the Modern Living Area: Wanted creates an intimate, emotional, expressive, and sophisticated atmosphere through the quality of its artistic glass light and the beauty of its balloton glass diffuser stack construction.
- Made in Italy — Cattelan Italia.
Lamp Configuration
Version A at Ø35×165h cm is the full-height floor lamp format, bringing the uppermost glass diffuser to approximately eye level for a seated person and delivering the complete luminous column effect. Version B at Ø35×79h cm is a lower, more intimate format suited to bedside tables, low consoles, and accent use. Both versions share the same Ø35 cm overall diameter and the same balloton glass diffuser stack construction across all three colourways.
Frame Finish
One frame finish — Black Embossed. Applied to the vertical pole and all structural metal elements across both version variants.
Black Embossed
Frame Finish
Black Embossed is a richly micro-textured dark metal finish applied to the vertical structural pole and all connecting hardware of Wanted. The embossed surface produces a tactile, non-reflective depth that absorbs light rather than reflecting it — creating a receding, almost invisible structural presence that allows the luminous glass diffuser spheres to dominate the lamp composition. The deep black tone provides a strong material counterpoint to the warm amber, iridescent pearl, and cool peacock green of the three glass colourways, reinforcing the dramatic quality of each finish combination. Finish samples available on request.
LampShade Finish
Three artistic glass lampshade colourways — Ambra, Madreperla, Verde Pavone. All available across both version variants with the Black Embossed frame.

Verde Pavone Artistic Glass
Lampshade
Each colourway is produced in the balloton artistic glass technique — a traditional Venetian method in which molten glass is rolled over small beads during blowing, creating a characteristic rounded bubble-relief texture that scatters and diffuses light in all directions. Ambra is a warm, deep amber glass that bathes the room in a honeyed golden luminosity evoking candlelight and Italian amber glass craft. Madreperla (mother of pearl) is an iridescent white opalescent glass with a nacre-like quality that produces a soft cool-white light of extraordinary delicacy. Verde Pavone (peacock green) is a rich deep green glass that projects a cool, dramatic botanical chromatic aura for a deeply atmospheric and sophisticated effect.
Materials & Construction
Balloton Artistic Glass Diffusers
Each Wanted glass diffuser sphere is produced in the traditional Venetian balloton technique — molten glass rolled over small beads during blowing to create a rounded bubble-relief texture. This texture diffuses light in all directions, creating the warm, multi-directional glow that defines Wanted's lighting quality. The hand-worked nature of balloton glass gives each sphere a subtle individual character of texture and form.
Black Embossed Metal Pole
The vertical structural pole and all hardware are finished in Black Embossed — a richly micro-textured dark metal that absorbs light and creates a receding structural presence, allowing the luminous glass diffusers to dominate the composition. The embossed texture adds material complexity and a refined tactile quality that elevates it beyond a standard painted metal finish.
Stacked Diffuser Construction
Three balloton glass spheres of progressively varying diameters are arranged along the vertical pole — each at a calibrated height and scale to create a composed, rhythmically varied column of light. Each sphere operates as an independent light source contributing its own pool of diffused illumination, building collectively to an intimate, emotional, and expressive atmospheric quality in the surrounding living area.
