Designed by Giancarlo Mattioli and Gruppo Architetti Urbanisti Città Nuova, in the 1960s, Nessino is an international icon of retro design. Part of the Artemide Modern Classics reissued line, it was a marvel of ABS thermoplastic injection-molding when first introduced in 1967 thus bringing industrial materials and methods to the home and office environments.

Inspired by nature, the shape references the mushroom with the cup illuminating the light source and is ideal for use in the office, living room or workplace lobby.
