From the moment the lamp is switched on, there is a sense of magic. The controls are crisp, the movements are smooth and the light is soft, making it perfect to use on both larger tables and smaller bedside surfaces.

Winner of the prestigious iF Design Award in 2015, Sisifo is Scott Wilson’s hybrid luminaire for Artemide. Balancing task and ambient lighting needs, Sisifo delivers high efficiency LED lighting without compromise. With its spherical central articulation, Sisifo’s diffused disk of light gracefully balances and easily rotates 360 degrees. The small footprint weighted base and double ball joint were designed for minimum encumbrance, allowing the lamp head to effortlessly float and the light source to adjust for any application. The intuitive on/off touch dimmer control at the front of the base invites user interaction and Sisifo’s powerful light source utilizes a fresnel pattern to evenly spread the light while eliminating harsh shadows.

Sisifo features an extruded aluminum head and cylindrical base with a chromed polished steel adjustable stem and PMMA diffuser. The spherical central joint guarantees maximum freedom in adjusting the light with minimum restrictions due to the small size of the base, allowing its use on both larger tables and small-sized surfaces. The iconic flat diffuser can be tilted in all directions, providing warm relaxing light for any environment. Tapping the touch dimmer: LED source will turn on/off; Pressing the touch dimmer: LED source will dim up/down. The dimming is reversed when releasing the pressure from the touch dimmer.
