This exceptionally rare pair of “Omicron” wall lamps, designed by the renowned Vico Magistretti and manufactured by Artemide in Italy in 1961, exemplifies the seamless integration of industrial precision with minimalist elegance. A masterpiece of mid-century modern design, these lamps reflect Magistretti’s timeless philosophy of form meeting function. Each lamp features a sleek nickel-plated brass frame with a distinctive, elegant silhouette. The adjustable structure allows the frosted glass shade to move up and down, enabling users to tailor the lamp’s appearance and light distribution to their needs. This innovative design element underscores the versatility of the Omicron lamps, making them both functional and sculptural. Over time, the nickel-plated brass develops a warm, rich patina, further enhancing its refined aesthetic.

 

The frosted glass shades, with subtle reeded detailing, diffuse light softly and evenly, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. This thoughtful design ensures that the Omicron lamps not only illuminate a space but also add a sophisticated, atmospheric touch. While the Omicron series included various configurations, this pair of wall lamps stands out for its understated elegance and streamlined functionality. They remain in very good original condition and have been carefully rewired to ensure they meet modern safety standards while retaining their original charm. These rare pieces are a true testament to Magistretti’s innovative spirit and Artemide’s commitment to high-quality craftsmanship.

 

Additionally, we have a matching floor lamp and smaller wall sconces available, offering a rare opportunity to create a cohesive and striking lighting ensemble.
