Artemide - Amami table lamp

Amami creates a bright panorama, recovering the plastic and sculptural effect of light thanks to its formal purity. The diffuser and the stem merge into a single piece of opal polycarbonate, the light filters through the different layers and thicknesses of the material creating different densities.
