Exceptional pair of iconic vintage 'Shogun' Table Lamps by architect and designer Mario Botta (1943) for Artemide 1986. Straight from the first owners, these table lamps have always been together. Bought by the original owners in 1987, these lamps are early Artemide editions with original documentation included. These iconic table lamps have a very strong architectonic appearance and feel. At the same time they are very delicate in the way they light up the room. The interplay between light and dark, black and white and different materials gives these lamps a presence you don't often see. The large size of the 'Shogun' lamp alone gives it a very stately and robust feel. The striped bases are a strong hint to the architectural work by Mario Botta, one of the most important Italian architects of the last fifty years. Rare as a vintage pair, these lamps will lighten up your room in a very elegant and architectonic fashion. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
