Pair of Italian Mid-Century Modern Table/Desk Lamps 'Area 50' by Mario Bellini

Creator: Mario Bellini - Artemide
Offered by: Thomas Gallery Ltd.

Description
Visionary pieces of Italian Mid-Century Modern design.

Mario Bellini's 'Area' lighting series for Artemide in the mid-1970s was a move away from traditional Modernism with purely sober lines and rational philosophy. It's parchment-like shade incorporated a strong element of fantasy, a vision of what was to come in the Postmodern 1980s and the emergence of the Memphis Design Group. Area 50 is also available as a standing lamp. This series is out of production.

Uses 1 Edison socket and is ideally suited for silver tipped reflector bulb. Sold by the pair.

T. Thomas Gargiulo came from a dual background as a Ph.D. in Psychology with extensive training in Art History and Anthropology to form Thomas Gallery in downtown Manhattan in 1997 to balance intellectual with design pursuits. Since its inception the gallery has seen decorative arts as a vibrant representation of human culture of each age and as a portal to understanding it. P: 917.434.4032 E: thomasgalleryltd@gmail.com
