AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

I am selling one lamp from Arteluce (a company acquired by Flos in 1972), model MADA, designed by Ezio Didone, produced in the early 80s.

The lamp is made of green-colored aluminum, new, never used, intact, and complete with its original packaging.

The MADA lamps can be used horizontally, vertically, or upside down; they come complete with an E27 LED bulb and are fully functional.

The lamp for sale is 1 piece / only one: some photos are of a pair for presentation purposes.

Photos are an integral part of the description.


The Italian lighting company Arteluce was founded in 1939 by Venetian designer-entrepreneur Gino Sarfatti.

In 1951, the first Arteluce store opened on the lively Corso Vittorio in the center of Milan (today called Corso Matteotti). The shop was redesigned by Marco Zanuso in 1953. Arteluce's second store, on the charming Via della Siga, was designed by Sarfatti's long-time friend and lighting designer Vittorio Viganò in 1961.

Arteluce quickly establishes itself as a visionary lighting brand thanks to Sarfatti's dedication to technical, material, and production research.

The minimalist Model 1063 (1954) will influence Italian floor lamp design forever and will be awarded the prestigious 'Grand Prix' at the Triennale di Milano.
In 1954, it received the ADI Compasso d'Oro for the Model 559, and then again the following year for the Model 1055.

In the 1960s, Arteluce became a creative hub for Italy's most talented designers, producing the designs of legends such as Franco Albini, Cini Boeri, Franca Helg, Ico Parisi, and Massimo Vignelli.

In 1972, Sarfatti sold the company Arteluce to Flos.

Many creations by Arteluce are still in production today, and many original models hold a place in the permanent collections of important museums like the MoMA in New York.

Artemide with Flos / Arteluce and Fontana Arte represent the top design in lighting technology in Italy, complementing Knoll furniture with Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe, or Vitra with Charles & Ray Eames.
