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.

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.

Our Lighting Advisor's Verdict

★ Lighting Advisor's Verdict✔ Integrated LED🇮🇹 Made in ItalyDesigned by Ernesto Gismondi✓ cULus listedDimmable5-year Artemide warranty

The Nur 1618 Acoustic Pendant Light by Ernesto Gismondi is one we recommend for high color rendering (90+ CRI) that keeps colors and skin tones true and smooth dimming.

Choose it for dining tables, kitchen islands, entries and open-plan living spaces.

Not ideal for bathrooms, showers, covered porches or outdoor spaces: it is rated IP20 for dry indoor locations.

Our pick: White, for integrated LED, so there are no bulbs to buy and 3000K light, warm but clear. That version ships from Artemide in 2–4 weeks.
