The Harvey Guzzini Teulada pendant lamp is reminiscent of the Raak Fuga wall lamp designed by Maija Liisa Komulainen in the 1950s. Several other companies made their versions of this design. The Danish Lyfa produced a similar pendant lamp as this Teulada, named Pan. It was a design by Bent Karlby and made in metal. He also designed a comparable lamp named Pantre in 1970. Several other companies produced similar lamps.

This Harvey Guzzini lamp was in production from 1968 until 1976.

You can find these lamps with labels from Harveiluce, Harvey Guzzini and iGuzzini. In some countries they were also sold under the brand name Meblo. Meblo is a Croatian (Yugoslavian at that time) company that sold products from Harvey Guzzini. Meblo still exists.

iGuzzini 

iGuzzini illuminazione was established in June 1958 by Raimondo Guzzini (born 1928) under the name Harvey. Harvey is derived from the famous movie ‘Harvey’ with James Stuart and the invisible rabbit Harvey from 1950.
The initial production of enamelled copper objects was supplemented by decorative luminaires.
In the early sixties it became a family business when his 5 brothers joined the company. In 1962 Luigi Massoni was attracted to lead the design team. He worked for Fratelli Guzzini and Harvey Guzzini until 1976. Luigi Massoni designed many iconic lamps in that period.
The company still exists and changed the name in 1974 into iGuzzini and in 1981 to iGuzzini illuminazione.
