The Lesbo lamp is a symbol of the '' made in Italy '' design of the 70s. It was designed in 1967 by the great architect and industrial designer Angelo Mangiarotti. Its round shape is associated with a noble material worked with a great craftsmanship quality. Lesbo consists of a polished metal base and a diffuser made of a single hand-blown Murano glass element. The diffuser has beautiful white / transparent shades obtained thanks to the excellent know-how of the master glassmaker. This lamp is unique, beyond the shades of white that vary from one element to another. The main characteristics of the work of the Italian architect Angelo Mangiarotti are found in Lesbos: the prevalence of glass and the sculptural shape of a mushroom. The Lesbo lamp emits a diffused light.
Angelo Mangiarotti (Milan, February 26, 1921 - Milan, June 30, 2012 ) was an Italian architect, designer, urban planner and academic. He is one of the most important figures in the field of architecture and urban planning, especially Italian and American (but also Japanese and European), as well as internationally recognized as one of the most influential designers of the twentieth century and one of the most important figures in design.
Artemide was born in the province of Milan in 1959 by the designers Ernesto Gismondi e. In the following years, new designs were created for Artemide's ever-changing collections, whose spirit has always been to create original and effective lamps, including pendant and ceiling lamps, in collaboration with the greatest design talents around. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
