About the designer

Ernesto Gismondi (1931–2020), an aeronautical engineer by training, founded Artemide in 1960 with Sergio Mazza and led it for six decades, turning it into one of the world's leading lighting companies. He also designed many Artemide lamps himself, and in 2018 he received a Compasso d'Oro career award.

Best for

Dining tables, kitchen islands, entries and open-plan living spaces.

Who this is not for

• Bathrooms, showers, covered porches or outdoor spaces: it is rated IP20 for dry indoor locations.
• Renters or anyone without an electrician: it is hardwired to a junction box.
• Anyone who needs it soon when choosing a special-order option: those are ordered from Italy and take 10–16 weeks.
