botta designed the zefiro for artemide in 1988; an architect first and foremost, he only designed a handful of light fixtures and treated them like small constructions, a supporting framework and a supported element, with nothing decorative in between.

the diffuser is made of white lacquered perforated sheet metal, conforming to the documented models. Good condition.
