Chiara brilliantly combines its explosive simple design - it was made from a single steel sheet, cut and rolled up in a cylinder - with a charismatic and highly evocative shape: similarly to a nun with a large coronet that diffuses the light. On top of that, Mario Bellini names it Chiara, similarly to the saint of Assisi, founder of the order of the Poor Clares, who embraced Franciscan poverty. For the architect and designer, one of the most influential personalities on the creative scene, a great experimenter and intuitive designer (winner of eight Compassi d'Oro awards, 25 of his pieces are part of the permanent collection of the MoMa, he invented the P101 for Olivetti - the first personal computer – the director of Domus '86-'91 and much more), Chiara is the result of research begun in 1968 with paper models, for a lamp with diffused and reflected light and a hidden light bulb. Biography of Mario Bellini; Born in Milan in 1935, Bellini attended the Politecnico di Milano for a degree in architecture. He graduated in 1959, and from the very beginning of his career his prominence increased rapidly. From 1959 to 1962, Mario Bellini managed the design department of the Italian department store La Rinascente, and in 1963, he served as chief design consultant for Olivetti, a role that he retained until 1993.

Area Table Lamp (the highest and rarest) by Mario Bellini Artemide, Italy 1970s The Area 50 table lamp, is a part of a series that includes table, floor, wall, and ceiling lamps, was crafted by Mario Bellini in 1974 for Artemide. Bellini's intention was not merely to fashion an object; instead, he aimed to distill these lamps into a synthesis of gesture and effect, aligning them with the intangible nature of light. This involved the gesture of twisting a translucent foil to guide and disperse the light, coupled with the effect created by the seemingly impossible alignment of the 48cm square foil and the five bulges that distort it.
