Artemide Furniture

Italian

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.

By Artemide, Angelo Mangiarotti
Located in Padova, IT
The Saffo table lamp was designed by Angelo Mangiarotti for Artemide in 1967. The aluminum base supports the mushroom-shaped lampshade in smoked Murano blown glass. The glass is mouth blown in two colors and in one piece. The Saffo lamp creates a fantastic ethereal light effect. This lamp has been out of production for many years and has never been re-edited. Artemide was founded in the province of Milan in 1959 by the designers Ernesto Gismondi and Sergio Mazza. In the following years, new designs were created for the evolving collections of Artemide, whose spirit has always been to create original and effective lamps, including suspension and ceiling lamps, in collaboration with the greatest design talents around. the world. Among Artemide's great successes we should mention the Eclipse (1967) by Vico Magistretti and the minimal halogen desk lamp Tizio (1972) by the Italian-German designer Michele De Lucchi which is one of the most popular office icons in the world.
