Synthesis Table Lamp by Ernesto Gismondi for Artemide, 1970s
About the Item
Italian designer and engineer Ernesto Gismondi is widely recognized for his significant contributions to the field of Italian lighting design through his involvement with Artemide, a renowned lighting company that he co-founded in 1960.
Gismondi, born in 1931 in San Remo, pursued his academic studies in Aeronautical Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Milan. He successfully completed his degree in 1957 and further expanded his knowledge by obtaining a second degree in Missile Engineering from the Professional School of Engineering in Rome in 1959.
In collaboration with engineer and designer Sergio Mazza, who was born in Milan in 1931, Gismondi established Artemide with the vision of creating timeless and technologically innovative products. As the co-founders, they both played instrumental roles in shaping Artemide's evolving product lines over the following decades. They also led the company's mission to develop unique and architecturally-inspired lamps, pendants, and other fixtures by collaborating with prominent design talents from across the globe. Notable among Gismondi's designs for Artemide are the Sintesi Series (1976), encompassing table lamps, floor lamps, clamp lamps, and sconces, along with the Tholos Wall Lamp (1979), the Tebe Floor Lamp (1970s), and the Zen Floor Lamp (1988).
Throughout the years, Gismondi also devoted his expertise to the field of education. From 1964 to 1984, he served as a professor of engineering at the Polytechnic University of Milan. During the 1980s, Gismondi became associated with Memphis, an influential and avant-garde design collective led by Ettore Sottsass. Besides offering financial support, he actively contributed his design skills to the group.
Gismondi's significant impact on the realm of lighting design has earned him numerous accolades and prestigious awards. Notable among these honors are the Compasso d'Oro Award for Career achievements in 1994, the European Design Prize in 1997, and the Ernst & Young Prize "Entrepreneur of the Year" in both 2008 and 2009. Additionally, Gismondi held esteemed positions within the design community, including the vice presidency of ADI (Association of Industrial Design), as well as important roles at the Ministry for Universities and Research and as a member of the Educational and Scientific Committee of I.S.I.A.

Commute Design Studio is an inter - disciplinary , hands on, boutique design firm that has extensive knowledge of the end user. Commute creates stimulating intelligent, soulful environments and products for designers and clients around the world. “ We decided early in our careers that we did not want to open boxes of specified products for a living - or to be a cookie cutter version of whatever current design obsession was out there. We have always travelled our own path, in the hopes that others would engage. We believe a space should never be dumbed down. We provide environments that you can feel in, and environments with feeling." We are humble and individual in our approach, as we feel that it directly translates to the feeling and soul of a space. We don’t seek the limelight. The space is not about the designer, it is about the end user. This thought process has given us the pleasure of working with like minded clients to create compelling, and thoughtful design and engage locally with makers and craftspeople to carry out our visions ."

Gibigiana Lamp Achille Castiglioni for Flos, 1980s
By Achille Castiglioni
Located in toronto, CA
Flos’s mission was to revolutionize the lighting industry by exploiting new materials, starting with Eisenkeil’s “cocoon floss” polyamide. In the early years of Flos, design was overseen first by Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, followed by his brother Achille and Tobia Scarpa, and then Scarpa’s wife, Afra. The resulting products were intriguingly futuristic looking, such as the Castiglionis’ Viscontea Lamp (1960), Taraxacum Chandelier (1960), and Gato Table Light (1960), as well as the Scarpas’ Fantasma Floor Lamp (1960s). The effect of the cocoon allowed for a soft, ambient glow.
Other signature Flos pieces include the classic Arco Lamp (1962) by the Castiglioni brothers; the Parentesi Lamp (1971) by Achille Castiglioni and Pio Manzu, which was the first piece in the Flos collection...
