"Shogun" Table Lamp by Mario Botta for Artemide - Italy (1986)

Revolutionize your lighting with pure architectural light: the Shogun table lamp, designed by the celebrated Swiss architect Mario Botta in 1986 for Artemide. This sculptural piece is one of the most recognizable icons of postmodern design, capable of blending geometric rigor and a stage presence that Botta himself compared to that of a "person" due to its anthropomorphic structure with a head, body, and feet.

The Shogun is famous for its black and white striped painted metal stem, a trademark of Botta's aesthetic, which supports two adjustable diffusers made of perforated steel sheet. These lampshades can be manually adjusted to create infinite plays of light and shadow, projecting complex geometric patterns onto the surrounding walls. The solid base and bold design make this lamp ideal for executive desks, designer sideboards, or interiors that celebrate the Memphis-Milano movement.

A functional work of art that has never ceased to inspire wonder, perfect for collectors and lovers of great 20th-century Italian design.

Condition: The item is in excellent vintage condition. The original paintwork is well preserved, and the diffusers are fully functional and free from deformation. The electrical system has been checked to ensure its safety and perfect functionality.
