Artemide - Fato table wall lamp white

This lamp, with its geometric metal screens, its fields of light and shadow, of voids and solids, enclosed in a square frame, looks like a luminous object with a dual function: lamp and showcase together. A luminous sculpture with a strong stylistic connotation typical of the 60’s. Structure in folded, welded and enamelled sheet metal.
