Angelo Mangiarotti was a Milanese architect, engineer and designer whose work returns again and again to joints: how two parts meet and hold without adhesive or fastening. That thinking runs from his concrete structures down to marble tables that stay together by gravity alone.
Lesbo, from 1967, became one of the emblems of Italian design in the years that followed, and it is remembered for a shape — a mushroom, blown by hand in glass.
The frosted white finish hides the bulb completely and turns the beam upward, so what reaches the room is soft and atmospheric and the glass itself is what you look at.

Lesbo, for Artemide, is a table lamp in blown Murano glass — a curved stem opening into a wide shade, blown as one continuous piece so there is no join to hide.
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.
