The lamp is listed in the Skira catalog "Joe Colombo" on pages 188–189 (see photo): "Vademecum is a table lamp with a Cycolac plastic base and a stainless steel lampshade. Both pieces are connected by a pin that keeps the lampshade upright during use, but also allows folding the lamp into a rectangular parallelepiped to protect the bulb during transport. The model is no longer produced." Conditions: excellent, normal signs (scratches) due to use and age; no burns or heat-induced deformation (very common), era electrical system, working.
