Artemide Nessino Table Lamp

Designed by Giancarlo Mattioli 
Manufactured by Artemide

Nessino is an icon of Italian design from the ’60s, a decade that heralded the conquest of modernity in which design redefined the domestic landscape though the first uses of plastics. Innovative and democratic, its expressive form inspired by nature interprets and challenges industrial manufacturing technology.

Nessino is the smaller version of the Nesso light, designed by Giancarlo Mattioli. Mattioli’s experiments with newly available thermoplastic resins resulted in an elegant table light with a distinctly 60s sensibility and a timeless appeal.
