Nesso Table lamp plastic material red / 1967 Reissue - Ø 54 cm - Artemide

Nesso Ruby Red Lamp: An Icon of Italian Design in a New LightSome creations define their era. Others stand the test of time to become universal classics. Designed in 1967 by Giancarlo Mattioli and the Gruppo Architetti Urbanisti Città Nuova, Nesso belongs to the latter category. A true manifesto of 1960s Italian design, it is now part of the permanent collections at MoMA in New York and remains one of the most famous creations in Artemide’s history. The Symbol of a Creative RevolutionIn the late 1960s, plastic materials opened up new possibilities for designers. Nesso thus became one of the first lamps to fully harness the potential of industrial molding. Its shade, reminiscent of a giant Mushroom, its generous curves, and its futuristic aesthetic perfectly embody the Space Age spirit that characterized that period. More than just a lamp, the Nesso has become a symbol of Italian creative optimism. Light designed to enhance a spaceHidden beneath its wide lampshade are four light sources that cast a particularly pleasant blend of direct and indirect light. This designer table lamp naturally finds its place on a console table, a sideboard, or a large bookcase, where it serves as both a light source and a decorative object. Its generous size allows it to visually define a space all on its own. Ruby Red, a contemporary reinterpretationWith the Ruby Red collection, Artemide offers a fresh take on this icon. This deep ruby burgundy adds sophistication and warmth to its organic forms. Paired with travertine, dark walnut, or an interior inspired by Italian neo-modernism, this finish further enhances Nesso’s sculptural character. Choosing the Artemide Nesso lamp means acquiring much more than just a light fixture. It means bringing into your home one of the most influential creations of 20th-century design—a work that continues to inspire more than half a century after its creation.
