Artemide Sintesi table lamp

Sintesi table lamp by Artemide, designed in 1975 by Ernesto Gismondi, is one of the most iconic examples of contemporary Italian design. Originally conceived as the core element of a modular and intelligent lighting system, this table lamp perfectly embodies the designer's philosophy of achieving maximum functionality through an essential structure. Made from just a few curved metal elements, Sintesi features two C-shaped profiles of different lengths that create its distinctive Y-shaped support, allowing the height and angle to be adjusted with a simple movement. The adjustable frame integrates an E27 lamp holder, reflector and protective grille, ensuring compatibility with modern LED retrofit bulbs while preserving the original concept for years to come.

Artemide Sintesi: Ernesto Gismondi's timeless functional design

Introduced in 1975, Sintesi is one of the finest examples of Italian industrial design, where every component has been carefully engineered to fulfil a precise purpose without unnecessary elements. The structure can be completely folded to minimise its size during transport or storage, highlighting Ernesto Gismondi's pragmatic and innovative approach. The replaceable E27 light source also allows the lamp to evolve with modern lighting technologies while maintaining the integrity of its original design.

Thanks to its clean aesthetic and exceptional versatility, Sintesi fits naturally into an office, a home workspace, a professional studio or as a reading lamp in a bedroom. Its minimalist appearance blends effortlessly with contemporary, modern and minimalist interiors. To further expand its installation possibilities, an original Artemide wall accessory is also available, allowing the table lamp to be converted into a wall-mounted version while preserving the same adjustable structure and functionality.

Still part of the Artemide collection today, Sintesi remains one of the brand's most representative lighting designs, demonstrating how simplicity, engineering and functionality can coexist in a single product. Available in Blue, White, Green and Red finishes, it continues to showcase the enduring value of Ernesto Gismondi's original 1975 project.
