Lighting icon Nessino

Today I have a real classic for you: the 'Nessino'. It is an icon of Italian design of the 60s, a decade in which modernity arrived and design reshaped the domestic landscape through the first applications of plastic.

It was designed by the designer Giancarlo Mattioli, who with his group of architects 'Città Nuova' submitted that very project to the competition 'Studio Artemide Domus di Milano' in 1985, and then successfully went into production with the lamp in collaboration with 'Artemide'. To date, it is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York.

The shape of the lamp, inspired by a jellyfish, has function, as it spreads a pleasantly subdued ambient light with a device that hides the bulb. Innovative and democratic, the expressive form inspired by nature represents industrial production technology while challenging it.

'Nessino' has a wonderful, cozy luminosity and blends weightlessly as well as with much historical grace into the space of your choice.
