Nesso Table Lamp

A 1960s cult piece, Nesso is a table lamp designed by Giancarlo Mattioli and the Gruppo Architetti Urbanisti Città Nuova for Artemide. Made of ABS resin in white or orange.A symbol of futuristic and democratic design, the Nesso lamp by Artemide is undoubtedly a 1960s lighting icon, winner of the Studio Artemide/Domus competition. Famous for introducing ABS thermoplastic injection-molding, first presented in 1967, this elegant table lamp brings industrial materials and methods to residential and office settings. The soft, sinuous contours of the Nesso lamp, inspired by nature, take on a mushroom-shaped silhouette that directs and diffuses a homogeneous light downward into the space. Fascinating and with a slightly vintage aesthetic, it elegantly fits into any context, adding a touch of color and novelty: perfect to be placed on an entryway cabinet, on a bedside table in the bedroom, on a desk or even in contract environments and large work spaces. In its orange finish, Nesso creates a warmer, joyful and intriguing atmosphere, definitely original; in white it gives a touch of purity to the space, spreading an ethereal and enchanting luminous aura. Considered a true and valuable artwork, this mushroom lamp by Artemide is part of the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art.Light Source: Max 4x18W halogen (E14) Light bulbs not included
