This pendant lamp was designed by Sergio Mazza in 1960 and produced by Artemide, the company that he had founded together with Ernesto Gismondi in 1959. This lamp, known as “Tau”, was one of the earliest designs of the company, as it was presented in 1960 to the XII Milan Triennale.
The lamp has a distinctive appearance, given by the combination of a black lacquered aluminum shade with a pressed, striped glass diffuser, jointed by a nickel-plated brass ring.
The lamps hangs from a metal wire, for a maxiumum drop of 90 cm. The drop can be easily shortened to fit your needs.
This lamp remains in very good vintage conditions, with minimal wear to the original paint, patina and oxidation on the nickel-plated parts and an intact glass. Period wiring in working conditions, no longer fitting current standards.
