Artemide Equilibrist LED Table Lamp by Jean Nouvel

About the Item

Artemide Equilibrist LED table lamp in black color finish. Equilibrist minimalistic shape compliments any interior space, with a touch of modernism and elegance. An insatiable gusto for creative experimentation drives the work of Jean Nouvel. Born in France in 1945, Nouvel combines an artistic sensibility with theoretical concepts when considering issues of design. Known for approaching architecture as a sculptor, he infuses native cultural elements within his designs for the built environment. In 2008, Nouvel was awarded The Pritzker Architectural Prize. Winner of the 2015 Wallpaper Design Awards, Equilibrist looks like a high-tech traffic light whose signals emit non-symmetrical light. The combination of the arm balancing on the stem as well as the full vertical and horizontal rotation feature of the two lighting heads, allows for the user to achieve an endless number of configurations. The independent operation of the two on-off dimmer switches located on the two heads invites user interaction to meet all lighting needs. Available for purchase within the United States only.

Artemide

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.
