The Artemide Callimaco Floor Lamp is a floor lamp designed by Ettore Sottsass in 1982. In Artemide's words: “Originally created in 1982, Callimaco has been revitalized by the addition of LED technology. A silhouette is well-known by discerning design enthusiasts, Ettore Sottsass’ "horn" of light has the illusion of an oversized musical instrument.”
