Defined by its graphic silhouette, the design pairs a black metal base and stem with an ivory-enameled disk diffuser, centered by a mirrored halogen reflector.

The disk pivots to cast and reflect light with precision, held in place by a triangular black metal frame that gives the piece its balanced, architectural presence.

Carlo Forcolini (1947-) is an internationally renowned Italian designer and entrepreneur with a design career that spans over fifty years.

Established in mid-20th century Italy, Artemide is renowned as one of the most prominent lighting manufacturers. Their acclaimed fixtures are featured in museum collections globally. Vintage Artemide lighting, including table lamps, pendants, and ceiling lamps, exemplifies a harmonious blend of functionality and striking design.

Condition: Great vintage condition. Minor scuffs and marks to the metal, consistent with age and use. Light oxidation, primarily near the joints.
