Artemide Nessino – Red – Giancarlo Mattioli and Gruppo Architetti Urbanisti Città Nuova
Iconic Nessino table lamp by Artemide, one of the most recognizable projects in Italian design of the sixties.

Designed in 1967 by Giancarlo Mattioli and by Gruppo Architetti Urbanisti Città Nuova, Nessino represents a reinterpretation on a more compact scale of the famous Nesso, with the characteristic rounded mushroom shape that became one of the symbols of Italian design of the era.

The project exploits the expressive possibilities of plastic materials, transforming an industrial material into an object with soft and organic forms. The body and the diffuser are characterized by a smooth surface and the typical bright red coloration, which gives the lamp a strong decorative character.

The distinctive shape of the diffuser allows the light to distribute softly and diffusely, creating a pleasant and warm atmosphere on the base and in the surrounding environment.

Nessino is equipped with 4 E14 sockets, allowing the use of LED bulbs and freely choosing the desired color temperature and light intensity.

Its aesthetics, strongly tied to the Pop culture and Space Age of the sixties, has made Nessino an authentic classic of Italian design, still today easily recognizable and sought after by enthusiasts.
