Description

Despite its plain and simple appearance, this lamp clearly conveys Artemide’s skills. The shade is a light plastic volume enclosed by two diffusers that produce a pleasant soft direct and indirect light. The joint connects the lamp shade to the aluminum stem on a minimal support. These simple elements are combined in a simple and elegant object, where the slanted stem is counterbalanced by the volume of the display. “La Petite walks on a wire, swinging between full and empty. There is no symmetry in its design, but there is order. A subtle harmony of disassembled elements, balanced on the border between light and dark.
