The Artemide Miconos Pendant Light is a pendant light designed by Ernesto Gismondi in 1998. In Artemide's words: “A hand-blown glass globe of light on a base and stem of polished chrome. Transparent yet created a softly diffused, dimmable light. A design statement, the Miconos fixture is designed to complement either modern or more traditional interiors. Its naked design perfected with polished precision makes it a conversation piece of contemporary art.” Choose finish on this page.

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
