Rare Callimaco noir by Ettore Sottsass, first limited edition, 1982.

Rare Callimaco floor lamp, limited edition signed by Ettore Sottsass, black finish. This vintage model, highly sought after, comes from the very first limited series produced for a Parisian gallery. This initial version is particularly notable for its rarity, as it predates the integrated dimmer found in later versions. A testament to Sottsass's characteristic sculptural boldness, this floor lamp combines geometric precision with playful proportions, illustrating the designer's innovative approach to postmodern lighting. Its elegant black finish enhances its architectural presence, making it a functional light source or a centrepiece in a contemporary interior. Condition and provenance: The floor lamp bears the Artemide label and is in excellent original condition. We currently have two examples of this rare vintage model, offering a unique opportunity for collectors and design enthusiasts. A piece worthy of a museum, created by one of the most influential designers of the 20th century, this Modern Design floor lamp is a milestone in modern design and a remarkable example of Sottsass's visionary collaboration with Artemide. Dimensions: Diameter 39 cm, Height 200 cm.
