This piece is produced to order by the maker. Production usually takes about 6–8 weeks, after which we despatch it from London.
Because it is built for you, cancellation is limited once production has started on a configuration you specified. Please check the timing before you order — and ask us if the date matters.

Giò is an instrument before it is a decoration — an aluminium body, hung, doing its work without asking for attention. That plainness is what lets it sit as easily in a kitchen as in a lobby.
The family runs from the plain suspension through a decentred version, which hangs off-centre from its own ceiling point, to clusters of several heads.
Left, three hung together — an aluminium body and nothing else to look at. Right, the decentred version, its cable arcing away from the ceiling point.

Gio Light for Artemide reduces a lamp to two elements: a thin metal disc and the diffuser it carries. There is no visible housing, and the light is thrown off the surface of the disc rather than out of a shade.
The family includes suspension and decentred suspension versions, so a single fixture can be hung off-centre from its own ceiling point.
Founded in Milan in 1960, Artemide shapes light around people — Tolomeo, Tizio and Eclisse among its classics.
Ernesto Gismondi founded Artemide in Milan in 1960. The catalogue reads as a history of post-war Italian lighting: Vico Magistretti's Eclisse, Richard Sapper's Tizio, and the Tolomeo drawn by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina.
The company works to a philosophy it calls The Human Light — light made for people rather than for its own effect. Design and production are run from Pregnana Milanese, just outside Milan.
