Artemide
Artemide is an iconic firm in the design world. The mid-century Italian company is one of the best known lighting manufacturers and its award-winning fixtures are held in museum collections everywhere. Vintage Artemide table lamps, pendants, ceiling lamps and other lighting represent a thoughtful merge between functionalism and eye-catching design.
Artemide, which is based in Pregnana, was founded by Ernesto Gismondi and Sergio Mazza in 1959. During that year, Mazza created the first table lamp for the manufacturer — a modernist work in glass, marble and metal that he called the Alfa. Gismondi, who studied aeronautical engineering at the Polytechnic University of Milan and missile engineering at Rome’s Professional School of Engineering, applied his knowledge of cutting edge technology and materials such as fiberglass resin to Artemide’s designs for lighting and furniture.
In 1967, Artemide won Italy’s Compasso d'Oro design award for its Eclisse table lamp, which was designed by Vico Magistretti two years earlier. Other award-winning fixtures include the Tizio table lamp designed by Richard Sapper and the Tolomeo table lamp.
Designed by Michele de Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina, the Tolomeo featured the patented George Carwardine mechanism used in the original Anglepoise lamp. De Lucchi would later be recruited to join visionary postmodern design collective the Memphis Group. Artemide’s Gismondi purchased the brand after founder Ettore Sottsass dismantled the collective in 1988, and it was bought by Alberto Bianchi Albrici in 1996.
Artemide’s list of design, innovation, sustainability and other industry awards is long and distinguished. The firm continues to actively collaborate with internationally revered designers and seek out new talent through workshops with design schools. The company’s deeply held values — energy-saving lighting, sustainable design and ethically sourced materials — characterize its current offerings, and Artemide furniture and lighting can be found in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art and other institutions.

- 1970s Mid-Century Modern Gilt Metal Italian Adjustable Desk LampLocated in Aci Castello, ITA gilt metal and plastic desk lamp designed and manufactured in Italy in the seventies in very good conditions overall. It's in working order. The desk lamp is a sleek and functional lighting fixture that embodies the design principles of the era. This desk lamp seamlessly combines the luxurious elegance of gilt metal with the contemporary appeal of black plastic, creating a striking visual contrast. The gilt metal adds a touch of opulence and sophistication to the design, exuding a sense of vintage glamour.

The use of black plastic introduces a modern and industrial aesthetic, creating a visual juxtaposition against the golden tones of the metal. One notable feature of this desk lamp is its adjustability. It incorporates a flexible or articulating arm mechanism that allows the user to modify the angle and height of the light source. This adjustability provides enhanced functionality, enabling precise illumination for specific tasks or areas on the desk.
