The Artemide Discovery Floor Lamp is a floor lamp designed by Ernesto Gismondi. In Artemide's words: “"To find out how to produce such a thin and light ring we turned to bicycle manufacturers, and the result was this very light luminous profile and an almost invisible lamp." – Ernesto Gismondi Discovery is a family of appliances based on minimal geometry. A very light aluminum ring houses an LED strip that injects light into a specially worked surface of transparent PMMA.” Choose the light source on this page.

He also designed many Artemide lamps himself, and in 2018 he received a Compasso d'Oro career award.
