Story
A 1979 design updated with LED
Frattini designed Megaron in 1979 as an essential form. The vertical silhouette and the front groove give it a discreet but striking architectural presence, and the indirect emission turns light into atmosphere. LED technology now accompanies its evolution while the lamp stays true to its original identity.
The Frattini 100 edition
To mark the 100th anniversary of Frattini's birth, Artemide presents a special commemorative edition in an exclusive red finish. The upper part of the lamp body carries the engraved inscription "Gianfranco Frattini 100".
