Artemide La Petite white wall lamp

Artemide La Petite white wall lamp is a designer wall light created by the creative duo Quaglio Simonelli for Artemide. Originally introduced as a table lamp in 2015, the La Petite family has since expanded to include wall and floor versions, all sharing the same defining compositional principle: an archetypal lampshade balanced on a tilted stem, crafted from polycarbonate, aluminium and methacrylate. The white aluminium structure supports the lampshade through a minimal joint that reduces the point of contact to a minimum, creating a simple yet elegant geometric composition in which the angle of the stem is counterbalanced by the volume of the shade. The lamp features an E14 lampholder, compatible with LED sources up to 6 W, and supports a universal input voltage of 100–240 V, making it suitable for use in EU, USA, UK, Australian and Japanese electrical systems. The IP20 protection rating designates it for indoor use, while its dimmable function allows light intensity to be adjusted as needed. Bulb not included.

La Petite embodies the craftsmanship of Artemide in its most essential form: the lampshade, a lightweight plastic volume enclosed by two diffusers, produces a gentle direct and indirect light that enhances any interior with understated elegance. The all-white version accentuates its iconic, pared-back character, making it equally at home in contemporary and more classic interiors. As described by its designers: "La Petite walks on a wire, balancing between full and empty. There is no symmetry in its design, but there is order. A subtle harmony of elements disassembled, in equilibrium at the boundary between light and dark." This wall lamp lends itself naturally to the living room or the bedroom, where the quality of light and formal refinement truly make a difference.
