Story

This exceptional table lamp, model 613, was designed in 1975 by Paolo Rizzato for the renowned Italian manufacturer Arteluce. It is a masterpiece of design and engineering, distinguished by the skillful balance of its elements. The construction consists of glass-fiber reinforced carbon, a material known for its lightness and strength. These qualities allow for the lamp's delicate balance, achieved through a precisely calibrated counterweight system.

The lampshade is made of matte white polycarbonate and can be rotated on two axes thanks to an asymmetrical fork. The plum-red color of the arms lends the lamp elegance and a modern touch. Originally designed for desks, the lamp combines functionality with a minimalist aesthetic that remains timeless.
