Description
Overview
Gruppo Architetti Urbanisti Città Nuova and Giancarlo Mattioli designed Nesso for Artemide's Design Collection. It is an icon of Italian design from the '60s, a decade that heralded the conquest of modernity and saw design redefine the domestic landscape through the first uses of plastics. Its expressive, nature-inspired form challenges industrial manufacturing technology.
