The Artemide Alfa Table Lamp is a table lamp designed by Sergio Mazza in 1959. In Artemide's words: “Alfa was Artemide’s first table lamp. An instant classic designed in 1959 by Sergio Mazza and re-editioned in 1999, the luminaire provides incandescent light via a ribbed, opaque crystal glass diffuser. The nickel-plated metal is hand turned and rests on a black marble base.”
