AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Artemide Nesso, an iconic orange table lamp designed by Giancarlo Mattioli and the Gruppo Architetti Urbanisti Città Nuova.
Presented in the 1960s, Nesso is one of the most representative projects of Italian design from that period and a true symbol of experimentation with plastics. Its characteristic mushroom shape arises precisely from the possibilities offered by industrial molding, turning an innovative material for the era into an object with a strong sculptural identity.
The large translucent plastic diffuser envelops and hides the four light sources, producing a soft, diffused light. The rounded silhouette, free of superfluous elements, makes Nesso immediately recognizable even when it is off.
The model was awarded in 1965 in the 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 Nesso version in orange, currently identified by Artemide with the code 0056050A. The body and diffuser are made of thermoplastic, material that constitutes one of the fundamental elements of the lamp’s design identity.
