Megalit Gideon Desk Lamp designed by Martine Bedin in 1985
About the Item
Rare Giddon desk lamp, designed by Martine Bedin in 1985.
A wonderful example of the postmodern lighting is this overly rare Gideon lamp. It is manufactured by Italian Manufacturer Megalit in 1985.
The design shows various of Martine Bedin‘s formal and esthetic principals towards the design of objects, using „simple“ geometric forms that fuse in the shape of the lamps base, head & screen.
St the same time it shows deep engineering qualities, esspecially in the joints. It is perfectly usefull and yet formally an early artifact designed by an influential Memphis-Pioneer in postmodern esthetics & industrial design and art.
The lamp is in used but good condition showing mostly minor some signs of aging on the coating on the joint. The plug is for European standard and you may have to change it according to your standard or use a adapter.
The lamp has a halogen socket for standard halogen bulbs.

Located in La Morra, Cuneo
Here you are shown the US wired, Super All White table or floor lamp in fiberglass, designed in 1981, by Martine Bedin. Color options for light sockets also include: blue, yellow, and multi-colored sockets.
Martine Bedin was born in Bordeaux in 1957. In 1981 she was one of the founding members of the Memphis group, she works as an architect, industrial designer and professor. Her works are exhibited in many museums and private collections.
Memphis is the great cultural phenomenon of the 80s that revolutionized creative and commercial logics in design. Born from the idea of Ettore Sottsass and a group of young designers and architects, in Milan, coupled in the years by famous designers from the international scene, Memphis turned upside down all of the existing parameters on living. Ettore Sottsass as the backbone of the group, design gained a new concept and expression through new shapes, materials and patterns, expanding the creative limits of the industry. Memphis became a symbol of New Design. Its influence is still clear in various sectors of production and beyond.
