Description from the seller
Lampada Lesbo – Design Angelo Mangiarotti – Production Artemide (1967)
We present at auction one of the most fascinating and representative icons of Italian industrial design of the 20th century: the Lesbo table lamp, designed by the renowned architect and designer Angelo Mangiarotti in 1967 for Artemide. An absolute masterpiece of glass craftsmanship, Lesbo embodies the rigorous structural research of its author and emits a soft, enveloping light that redefines the perception of domestic space.
Design and history:
The Lesbo lamp represents a fundamental milestone in the history of lighting design, the result of an extraordinary formal and technological intuition.
Sinous shapes: characterized by a prominent hand-blown glass mushroom diffuser, the lamp unfolds with soft lines, creating evocative interactions with the light and offering a strong sculptural impact both when on and off.
Play of lights: the graduated, shaded whiteness allows the light source to be hidden and redirects its emission upwards, creating an atmosphere of soft light that enhances the material characteristics of the glass.
Lot conditions:
The Lesbo lamp in the auction presents itself in excellent used condition, with minimal and physiological signs of time appropriate to the piece’s age.
Glass diffuser: the large hand-blown glass diffuser is intact, free of chips or cracks, and retains its refined original finish.
Base: the aluminum base is solid and robust and has recently undergone a thorough cleaning and polishing.
Functionality: The light is dimmable. The electrical system has been checked and is fully functional.
Authenticity: the originality is guaranteed by the two Artemide labels on the base.
Dimensions:
Width: 49 cm
Depth: 49 cm
Height: 37 cm
The Designer: Angelo Mangiarotti
Architect, sculptor and Milanese designer, Angelo Mangiarotti was one of the most illustrious and rigorous protagonists of 20th-century design culture.
