Artemide Dioscuri Table Lamp

The Artemide Dioscuri Table Lamp, designed by Michele De Lucchi for the Dioscuri range, is a considered table lamp that emphasises pure form and diffuse light. Its acid-etched blown glass globe and compact base present a restrained, sculptural presence suited to tabletops, desks and shelves.

The design is defined by a smooth, spherical diffuser in a soft white finish and an exceptionally low-profile circular base. The recessed base and pure geometry give the visual impression that the illuminated globe is resting directly on the surface.

Construction combines an acid-etched blown glass diffuser with a polycarbonate base and a steel ballast, a combination that balances tactile quality with stability. The materials and finishing reflect the Italian design intent behind the range.

The translucent, opal globe is engineered to distribute light evenly in all directions, producing soft ambient illumination with reduced glare. That even diffusion makes the lamp well suited to general mood lighting and to layering with task sources in living rooms, bedrooms and reception areas.

Note the IP20 indoor rating and the manufacturer's five-year warranty. The technical sheet should be consulted for specific lamp type, wattage and dimming compatibility before specifying for a project.

At Lighting Design Online we treat this lamp as a design-led solution for considered interiors: we recommend it where a calm, balanced ambient layer is required. Our guidance emphasises correct specification and project-friendly clarity so the final result looks and performs as intended, backed by the reassurance of clear technical information.
