Sintesi by Ernesto Gismondi
First introduced in 1975, the Sintesi lamp was the first Artemide product signed by its founder Ernesto Gismondi.
As an entrepreneur, engineer and designer, Gismondi approached each project with a broad perspective: he considered functionality, quality and measured design, along with mechanical aspects, efficient production and easy assembly.
You have to understand the needs of a particular moment in time. A product must be appreciated, meeting standards of beauty and harmony. But it also has to be manufactured and distributed, with the right price and market positioning."
Ernesto Gismondi
The table version, now reissued, serves as the foundation from which the entire system evolves.
Its structure is minimal yet adjustable in both angle and height, consisting of a few bent metal elements.
Two C-shaped pieces of different lengths form the frame, with the shorter one connecting midway along the longer piece to create a Y-shaped support. By opening and closing, this structure allows the lamp to tilt.
A frame surrounds the light source, holding and directing it.
It features a universal E27 socket, ensuring adaptability over time and compatibility with evolving lighting technologies.
The frame also supports a reflector and a protective grid to shield the light source. Sintesi can be positioned in various ways to direct the light and can fold into itself for compact, flat packaging. Its project is direct and functional, shaped by a hands-on approach that lies at the heart of Ernesto Gismondi’s design philosophy.
