Vico Magistretti, Porsenna, Artemide 1977
Produced by Artemide in 1977, Vico Magistretti’s sublime Porsenna table lamp is a subtle and modern reinterpretation of the traditional object that pairs a lamp holder with a conical shade. The lamp is constructed using only two essential components: a metal base with a textured finish on to which the lamp holder is attached, and a curved synthetic diffuser (resembling parchment paper) which is stretched and affixed to the corners of the base with the help of two metal rods.
More information on the Porsenna, as well as a full catalogue of all of Magistretti’s works and projects, can be viewed at the Archivio Vico Magistretti.
The lamp is in excellent overall condition and perfect working order. There are two small cracks on one of the plastic support brackets (pictured) probably due to the pressure of the screws and the plastic becoming more brittle with age. The sale includes a new 1.5W E27 150 lumen LED light bulb.
