The white opaline glass diffuser rests on a painted metal base, featuring the characteristic organic shape of three overlapping elements that allows for soft, even light diffusion.
The Electra was published in Domus magazine in October 1968 and is considered a classic of 1960s Italian design, which fits elegantly even into contemporary contexts.
The lamp is in excellent condition: it works perfectly with the four supplied E27 bulbs, and has no chips on the glass or obvious marks on the metal base. Although it is a ceiling light, it can also be adapted as a table lamp. It is unbranded, a feature common to early Artemide production.
