Cetra Lamp

Artemide

Vico Magistretti

Magistretti designed this lamp using a spherical section as a diffuser, topped by a second geometric section of the same shape, mounted upside down with the concave face directed toward the ceiling.
Cetra is a sculptural pendant lamp that combines pure forms interacting with light through different materials that diffuse, protect, or reflect it.
The two metal hemispheres can be lacquered in white or finished in nickel. The upper section conceals the indirect light emission, while the lower section houses the opaline glass globe that gently diffuses light throughout the space.
The entire collection designed by Vico Magistretti demonstrates how good design emerges from the synthesis of form, material quality, and technological coherence, bringing quality to everyday spaces through simple gestures.
