Table lamp SAFFO

chromed metalMurano glasscontemporary

The table lamp Saffo, designed by Angelo Mangiarotti for Artemide, represents an icon between Italian design of seventies. The name of the lamp derives from the Greek island where the poet Sappho lived; the project combines some recurring themes in the work of Angelo Mangiarotti: the wise use of glass and the sculptural form in a mushroom. It consists of a very simple chromed metal ring base that supports the diffuser, made of mouth-blown Murano glass to create striking interactions with light. The white surface of the diffuser has an appropriately nuanced light gradation that allows you to hide the light source and constantly include it to orient the beam upwards. The effect is perfect for an atmospheric lamp, with the emission of a soft light that enhances the material characteristics of the glass. / YEAR: 1966 QUANTITY: 1 ORIGIN: ITALIAN CONDITION: GOOD, WEAR CONSISTENT WITH AGE AND USE
