Telegono
The insights on the modularity of the flow of light triggered with the successful Eclisse project also animate this subsequent design of the Telegono lamp, again produced by Artemide.
In Telegono, a table lamp with reflected light with a powerful sculpted design, the orientation of the light on the surface plane can be modified through a swivelling semi-lampshade hinged to the body of the lamp that acts as an eyelid. Manufactured in two plastic materials, the body in free-standing matte melamine and the eyelid shade in opalescent PMMA, the lamp was originally produced in three colours: white, black, red. The Telegono lamp was included in the Ikea catalogue in 1970 until 1971.
Melamine, PMMA. White, black, red. The catalogue of 1972 shows an orange version.
1970 Silver Medal at the Wiener Mobelsalons International, Vienna.
An orange version of the lamp was exhibited at the Archive & Collection, IKEA Museum, Älmhult, Sweden.
