AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Artemide Nesso, iconic orange-finish table lamp, designed by Giancarlo Mattioli and by the Gruppo Architetti Urbanisti Città Nuova.
Presented in the 1960s, Nesso is one of the most representative Italian design projects of that period and a true symbol of experimentation with plastics. Its characteristic mushroom shape stems from the possibilities offered by industrial molding, turning a material innovative for the era into an object with a strong sculptural identity.
The large translucent plastic shade envelops and hides the four light sources, producing a soft, diffused light. The rounded silhouette, devoid of superfluous elements, makes Nesso instantly recognizable even when it is off.
The model was awarded in 1965 in a competition organized by Artemide and the Domus magazine and is today part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, testimony to its importance in the history of Italian design.
This is the original orange version of Nesso, currently identified by Artemide with the code 0056050A. The body and the diffuser are made of technopolymer, material that constitutes one of the fundamental elements of the lamp’s design identity.
