Description
Pair of wall lights in metal and frosted glass, model Lambda, produced by Artemide, designed by Vico Magistretti, Italy, 1960s
A pair of wall lights that blend the delicate charm of glass with the stability and durability of metal. The latter embraces the former with both subtlety and strength: the metal support, featuring an elegant yet somewhat brutal design, firmly holds the glass diffuser with necessary sturdiness and careful consideration, mindful of its fragility.
The glass component of the lights is distinguished by a material quality that offers a pleasing light refraction, enhanced by a decorative pattern of raised lines that still bear traces of an Art Deco influence. The series, named Lambda, evokes the classical echoes of the eleventh letter of the Greek alphabet, symbolizing a sense of order and balance rooted in a millennia-old cultural tradition.
This harmonious aesthetic union could only result from the collaboration of two renowned names: Artemide, a key player in shaping 20th-century taste, and Vico Magistretti. The Italian designer, a former student of Gio Ponti, was one of the most creative and revolutionary figures in Italian design. As an accomplished urban planner, many streets across Italy still showcase buildings and architecture that reflect his unique vision.
