Artist Achille Castiglioni had a knack for offering a new perspective on the most humble of objects. Here, the result feels especially "meta" as he plays with the concept of light through a recreation of a light bulb.

Simple, functional and very decorative, the Lampadina or 'bulb' is partly sandblasted to diffuse light and mounted on a tape reel style base which houses the excess power cord. On/off switch on lamp holder.

Achille Castiglioni's imaginative forms and simplistic designs have made him one of the most influential figures in Italian design. His works are represented in museums all over the world. MoMA in New York features 14 of his works. He has also been the recipient of numerous awards, including 9 Compasso d'Oro.

The LED bulb has replaced the incandescent version, outfitting this classic lamp with the latest technology - making it more energy efficient and increasing the bulb's lifespan. This product will ship with a standard US plug.
