Story
The first lamp in the catalogue
Sergio Mazza designed Alfa in 1959. It was the first lamp to enter the Artemide catalogue, and it is still in production today.
The abat-jour in crystal
The lamp takes the traditional abat-jour typology and reinterprets it through crafted crystal that evokes the fine pleating of a classic fabric lampshade. Precious details such as the marble base define its sophisticated character and make it an example of timeless elegance.
