This piece is the "platea" model, designed by e. Ferrari and g. Mazzucchelli tartaglino for the renowned italian company artemide, dating back to the 1960s.

subject and style: pure space age design. The lamp has a futuristic, spherical shape. It is composed of two main parts: a cupped (concave) base and a large domed diffuser that rests on top, creating a perfect, harmonious volume.

material and finish: the upper diffuser is made of blown white opal glass (lattimo). The lower cup is also made of white glass, housed in a black-painted metal base (or shell). The lamp is disassembled.

lighting: the interior houses four lamp holders mounted on a metal plate, ensuring even, powerful light diffusion through the large opal dome. Equipped with a dimmer switch.

ideal for collectors of artemide designs, for a large living room, or as an iconic lamp for a space age decor.
