Sergio Mazza ‘Pi Cavo’ pendants for Artemide, Italy 1962

About the Item

Sergio Mazza’s ‘Pi Cavo’ lights, designed for Artemide, are part of a range of lighting designs named after letters in the Greek alphabet including Delta, Gamma, Kappa, and Tau. They have a strong architectonic design in keeping with Mazza’s original training, and a sensitivity to materials exemplified by the metal elements made from nickel-plated brass and internally frosted glass. They have recently been rewired to UK standards. In good vintage condition, the metal elements have a delicate speckled patina to the surface. LITERATURE: Domus 399 (febbraio 1963), p. d/108 catalogo Artemide 1969, p. 62.

  • Richard Sapper ‘Tizio’ Table Lamp Artemide, Italy, 1972
    By Artemide, Richard Sapper
    Located in London, GB
    Richard Sapper (1932-2015) was born in German but worked in Italy, and his work brings together the best design principles of both nations. On one hand the ‘Tizio’ lamp possesses a northern European emphasis on functionalism. It was conceived as the ideal table lamp by its creator because of its wide range of movements, based on precisely calibrated counterweights at the end of each of the arms. On the other hand, it has a radically lithe profile and dusky, equipoised sense of style redolent of southern European sensibilities. It has become “an icon of high-tech design”, according to the MoMA where an example exhibited, and had its heyday as the lamp of choice for the design-conscious bright young things...
