Designed by Gianfranco FrattiniRead Bio
The Aspide Table Lamp offers a unique serpentine shape that reflects the material and aesthetic tastes of the mid-century modern era. Originally designed by Gianfranco Frattini in 1970, Aspide is as practical as it is stylish with a rotating head and neck that can be aimed directly for task lighting or reflected off of a wall for a softer ambient glow. On/off switch on cord.

Specification Sheet / Technical Files
An architecture graduate of Milan Politecnico, Gianfranco Frattini became an industrial designer by default when he lacked appropriate lighting and furniture for his interiors. In 1956, he co-founded the ADI. During his distinguished career, he collaborated with Gio Ponti, worked for Cassina and Acerbis, designed lamps for Artemide, was a board member of the Triennale di Milano, designed for Knoll and won many gold medals and other prizes.
He is a member of the generation that made up the Italian design movement in the late 1950s through the 1960s. His work for Artemide resulted in the Boa lamp together with Livio Castiglioni, and the Megaron lamp as well as several furniture collections for Cassina and exhibits for Ferrari.
