Featuring an integrated LED, blue painted steel base, gold stem and red conical head, the lamp brings new luxury to its simplistic primary colour scheme and design. The directed upward illumination is bright enough to light a ceiling and bathe the room below in reflected light, but can also be lowered to a soft glow with the built in dimmer. An ideal choice for ambient and directional lighting, the Callimaco floor light is simple, functional design at its finest, perfect for contemporary living rooms. This iconic Floor lamp was designed in 1982 by the great Italian master Ettore Sottsass. It features all the hallmarks of Sottsass: anti-conformism, Toy with color, superimposition of simple geometric shapes, totemic silhouette, singular details such as the chrome handle that looks like it belongs on a coffee maker.Like all Ettore Sottsass creations, Callimaco is both an everyday object and an objet d'art. It is one of the emblematic pieces of Sottsass's Radical Design. Equipped with a powerful (integrated) LED source, this floor lamp diffuses indirect light (directed towards the ceiling) that is functional and glare-free. Artemide has decided to group together in its Masters' Pieces collection the timeless luminaires imagined by the greatest masters of architecture over the decades.
