Saffo Table Lamp by Angelo Mangiarotti for Artemide, 1960s

Saffo table lamp, designed by Angelo Mangiarotti for Artemide in 1967.

The lamp consists of an aluminum base supporting a glass diffuser. The white glass at the bottom of the diffuser subtly conceals the light source (E27). As the organic form widens toward the top, the white glass transitions into transparent glass, revealing a surprising, three-quarter sphere made of smoked glass.

The piece is in very good condition. The electrical wiring of this early version is original.
