Item description

An iconic and visionary design by Gae Aulenti, the "Mezzo Oracolo" lamp is far more than a source of light, it is a statement piece, a sculptural presence that transforms any space into a sanctuary of modern design. Originally conceived between 1968 and 1969 for Artemide, this lamp represents the intersection of bold formalism and soft luminosity that defined the most poetic side of Italian rationalist design. Its commanding opaline glass globe acts as a luminous dome, diffusing light with a warm, ethereal glow. Below, the cylindrical metal base lacquered and minimalis also emits light when the lamp is switched on, creating a subtle duality of illumination. The original dimmer (by clicking) switch along the cord allows for fine-tuned light control, adapting seamlessly to different atmospheres. This rare piece is an early production by Artemide from the early 1970s, preserved in excellent vintage condition. It maintains its original Italian wiring, the sculptural balance of glass and metal, and the characteristic tri-light configuration with both E14 and E27 bulbs, allowing a dynamic interplay of brightness and tone. H. 66 / Base diameter 31 (cm)
