Area 50 Table lamp by Mario Bellini for Artemide, 1970s

Area 50 table lamp, designed by Mario Bellini and manufactured by Artemide in the 1970s.

The lamp consists of a white matt porcelain base (18 cm / 7 inch high) and a cream coloured diffuser in synthetic textile. A plastic part together with the light bulb holder presses the inner part of the diffuser down, thus creating a flower-shaped pattern.

The Area series includes various hanging, floor and table lamps. This is the middle size of three distinct table lamps.

The porcelain base of the lamp is in very good condition. The upper part of the fitting is slightly discoloured. The shade is in excellent condition as it has never been used before.
