Nesso table lamp by Artemide

The Nesso table lamp is a typical representative of ‘60s design. It’s also the latest edition of the famous lamp and winner of the Studio Artemide/Domus competition in 1965. Designed by Giancarlo Mattioli for Artemide and urban planners Città Nuova, Nesso is now in the permanent collection of the MoMA in New York. ‘60s design sees plastic front and centre as well as strong colours. The Nesso table lamp by Artemide is a clear example of this period. The base is made of ABS resin, with injection and die-cast chrome moulds just like the lampshade. Four bulbs placed at the top allow you to get a direct and diffused light. The ABS resin composition of the lampshade, which resembles the shape of a mushroom, shields the light and directs it downwards. Nesso, thanks to its attractive form, is a piece of furniture that can be placed anywhere. Its size makes it suitable for any household environment. Its attractive shape, familiar air and timeless design mean it will enhance any décor. Ideal for contemporary living rooms, it fits in perfectly to any layout while leaving a nostalgic taste. Additionally, it’s perfect as a desk lamp. The light it produces, homogeneous and directed downward, will in no way put strain on the eyes. Its versatility makes it suitable for cheerful bedrooms. In the bedroom it can replace any normal lamp, with a design that unites functionality and elegance. If you’re looking for a modern twist that spans decades, the Nesso table lamp helps create a pleasant, positive working environment. In an office it can also lighten the load in an environment that’s otherwise too formal. It brings a breath of fresh air without being overly intrusive. The Nesso table lamp by Artemide is also suitable for shops and trendy clubs where the space needs to be emphasized with a timeless elegance. Info: bulbs not included.
