Area 50 Curva adjustable table Lamp by Mario Bellini for Italian manufacturer Artemide in 1974s. Base and stem in lacquered metal, polyconate body and synthetic textile diffusor. E27 Bulb.
“The intangible nature of light led me, in a subsequent lamp, to move away from an attachment to bodies and objects and to reduce the lamp to a synthesis of ‘effect’ and ‘gesture’. The gesture of twisting a translucent foil just enogh to direct and diffuse the right amount of light; and the effect, accentuated by the impossible coincidence of the square foil and the five bulges that deform it, of unpredictability reminiscing the sky and its clouds.”
