"Nessino" Table Lamp – Artemide by Giancarlo Mattioli
Treat yourself to an absolute icon of Italian design with the "Nessino" lamp by Artemide, created by designer Giancarlo Mattioli. Offered here in 4 very modern colors, this legendary 1965 piece boasts a mushroom-shaped silhouette that has gone down in style history. A cult, timeless, and impeccable luminaire.
Visual Impact: A Pop Icon with a Fresh and Impeccable Glow
Designed in the heart of the 60s, the Nessino expresses all the boldness of organic lines and the fluid design of the Space Age era.
A Mythical "Mushroom" Silhouette: Its large domed diffuser flares out to blend into a single base. This perfect geometry offers a strong sculptural presence, immediately adding character to your room.
The Secret of the Openwork Heart: The aerial view highlights the open central well. This is Artemide's secret to visual comfort: the dome cleverly hides the bulbs to prevent glare, projecting a soft downward light while allowing a vertical halo to escape from its center.
Features
A Museum Classic for Your Home: Its big sister, the Nesso, is part of the permanent collection of MoMA in New York. The more compact Nessino adapts to all modern interiors.
The Ideal Design Gift at €185: At this accessible price for an Artemide piece, it's the perfect opportunity to give (or treat yourself to) a superb decorative gift.
Ultra-Versatile Format: Its size allows it to fit anywhere: on a sofa end table (like your side table), a sideboard, a shelf, or as a bedside lamp.

💡 Gallerist's Style Tip
"The glossy finish of this new Nessino creates a beautiful dialogue with matte materials. Placing it next to the raw texture of a green plant or the softness of a white boucle sofa dramatically highlights its lacquered shine. It's the ideal splash of color to invigorate a chic and minimalist interior."
