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.
