Area lamp by Mario Bellini for Artemide 1974 Italian Vintage Design

Table lamp model Area, designed by Mario Bellini in 1974 and published by Artemide, in Italy. It combines a metal structure with a fabric diffuser in sculptural shapes. Dimensions: H 75 × W 55 × D 50 cm. The Area lamp illustrates Bellini's research on diffuse light and organic forms. Its soft-contoured diffuser creates a sculptural effect, while its structure asserts a typical aesthetic of Italian design from the 1970s. This model reflects the designer's experimental approach, conceptualizing the luminaire as both a functional and expressive object. Features.
