Specimen made of injection-molded ABS, with raised branding on the bottom bearing: “Artemide Milano”, “Nesso Model”, “CR Design Arch. Urb. Città Nuova” and “Patent Pending” authentic first-generation Nesso, traceable back to the first years of production (late years ’60 – early ’70), a significant witness to the formal and technological innovation of Italian design. This brand is typical of the very first productions of Artemide, before it became standard “Artemide Italy”.
Iconic and highly collectible object, suitable for both domestic contexts and historical design collections. Electrical system with in-line switch and vintage Italian plug, consistent with original production. The presence of the wording “Patent Pending” and the Artemide Milano brand places the object in a still experimental-industrial phase of the product, immediately following its introduction on the market. Excellent general state. Electrical system present and functioning. Of particular interest is the presence of the original packaging cardboard, booklets and vintage certificates, a rare condition that increases the collectible value of the piece.
