“Mezzo Oracolo” by Gae Aulenti for Artemide, 1960's

The Mezzo Oracolo , designed by Gae Aulenti for Artemide at the end of the 1960s, is one of the most charismatic and coveted lighting objects of Italian modernism.
Aulenti was one of the most influential designers of her generation and was known for her exceptional ability to blend architecture, poetry, and object design. This lamp is a textbook example of that vision.

The imposing opaline glass globe takes center stage, casting a soft, luxurious glow and transforming the space with a warm, almost magical atmosphere. Its perfectly round shape contrasts beautifully with the refined metal base , which is subtly proportioned and gives the globe the illusion of floating.
The whole is sculptural, sensual and at the same time austere in its minimalism – exactly as Aulenti intended.

The Mezzo Oracolo is not just a lamp, but a statement piece : an object that brings tranquility and refinement, while simultaneously adding character and personality to the room.
Due to its rarity, this model is sought after worldwide by top interior designers, curators and enthusiasts of pure Italian high-end design.

This example is in excellent, beautiful original condition , with the warm light diffusion that only authentic old opaline glass can provide.
An absolute opportunity for the collector or interior designer who wants a unique and iconic object that has stood the test of time.
