AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Icon of 1970s Italian design, Ariette 2 is a lamp designed by Tobia Scarpa for Flos in 1973, characterized by a minimal form and an original diffuser in synthetic fabric.
The geometric structure, deliberately minimalist, is softened by the fabric that wraps around and diffuses the light, creating warm, uniform, and evocative illumination. A project that shows Scarpa's particular attention to material experimentation and the search for a balance between functionality and sculptural presence.
Ariette 2 can be installed on the wall or on the ceiling. Its broad surface and the distinctive structure give the lamp a strong architectural presence, while preserving that light and refined aesthetic that has made the project an icon of Italian design.
A representative piece of Tobia Scarpa and Flos's production, perfect for enthusiasts of Italian design, mid-century modernism, and designer lighting.
