La Petite terra

An archetypal lampshade balanced on a tilted stem.

Starting with the table version, presented in 2015, the family grew to include a wall-mounted version and floor. The compositional principles remain unchanged. Simple elements, exquisitely combined into an amazing geometric composition, recall basic forms matched with different materials for technological reasons. Despite its plain and simple look, this lamp clearly conveys the skills of Artemide.

The lampshade is a lightweight plastic volume closed by two diffusers that produce a pleasant soft direct and indirect light.

The joint connects the lampshade with the aluminium stem on a minimal support. These simple elements are combined into a plain and elegant object, where the tilted stem is counterbalanced by the lampshade’s volume. La Petite is realized in three different color versions, that exalt the essential and iconic appearance; total black or white and with red shader and white base and stem.
