Artemide Side Tables

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.

Arcadia 80 Mid Century Coffee Table by Vico Magistretti for Artemide, 1970s
By Artemide, Vico Magistretti
Located in Conversano, IT
Stunning and iconic "Arcadia 80" coffee table, like other pieces designed by Magistretti and produced during these years by Artemide as part of the resin furniture series, introduces a new aesthetic strictly connected to production technology. Produced in two sizes, Arcadia is made of GRP, glassfiber reinforced plastic, a thermosetting plastic material consisting of a dense weave of fiberglass impregnated with polyester resins. Arcadia belongs to the objects designed by Magistretti based on the "resistance by form" system, a method of conferring rigidity to plastic materials through the geometric configuration imposed on them-a concept already explored in other projects, from the Selene chair to the Chimera lamp, the Stadio table, and others. The performance of GRP, particularly its high resistance to impact, bending, scratching, and high temperatures, along with its stability against weather agents, makes it suitable for outdoor use as well. Minor signs of time are present. Bibliography: Maria Teresa Feraboli, Vico Magistretti, series I maestri del Design, Il Sole 24 Ore editions, Milan 2011, model referenced and reproduced on page 50; Artemide S.p.A., 1976 catalog, page 130. Product Name: "Arcadia 80" Coffee Table by Vico Magistretti for Artemide Designer: Vico Magistretti Design Year: 1970s Style: Innovative design based on an aesthetic tied to production technology Main Materials: GRP (Glassfiber Reinforced Plastic), a thermosetting plastic composed of fiberglass impregnated with polyester resin Distinctive Design: "Resistance by form" system that gives structural integrity to plastics through geometric configuration. Simple and elegant lines, typical of Magistretti's design, following a similar conceptual approach to the Selene chair and Chimera lamp Dimensions: Height 40 cm - Width 80 cm - Length 80 cm Comfort: Perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality Typical Use: Ideal for both indoor and outdoor environments due to GRP's resistance to impact, scratches, bending, high temperatures, and atmospheric agents Design Icon: A distinctive example of 1970s Italian design, with an innovative aesthetic that harnesses the potential of new materials Versatility: Suitable for domestic or public spaces, both indoors and outdoors Current Condition: Recognized design icon, featured in historic collections and catalogs Additional Notes: Cited in Maria Teresa Feraboli's bibliography Vico Magistretti, series I maestri del Design, Il Sole 24 Ore editions, Milan 2011, page 50. Also featured in Artemide S.p.A.'s 1976 catalog, page 130. Vico Magistretti (1920-2006) was one of the most influential Italian designers and architects of the 20th century, known for his contribution to industrial design and modern architecture. Born in Milan and graduated from the Politecnico di Milano in 1945, he developed a style based on simplicity, elegance, and functionality, reducing objects to their essential forms without sacrificing beauty or comfort. Throughout his career, he collaborated with companies like Cassina, Artemide, and Oluce, creating iconic pieces such as the Atollo lamp, the Carimate chair, and the Maralunga sofa, which became symbols of Italian design. He received numerous accolades, including several Compasso d'Oro awards, and his works are exhibited in prestigious museums such as the MoMA in New York. His legacy lies in his ability to blend innovation and craftsmanship, influencing generations of designers through both his work and his teaching. Artemide is a renowned Italian company specializing in the production of designer lighting. Founded in 1959 by Ernesto Gismondi and Sergio Mazza, it is headquartered in Pregnana Milanese near Milan, and has become a global reference brand in the industry. From the outset, Artemide distinguished itself by producing high-quality lighting systems that combine aesthetics, technological innovation, and functionality, collaborating with internationally renowned designers such as Michele De Lucchi, Richard Sapper, and Karim Rashid. Among its most iconic products are the Tizio lamp by Richard Sapper, the Tolomeo series by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina, and the Tolomeo Mega...
