Regular price
In Stock

Designed in 1989 by Carlo Forcolini for Artemide, the Nestor lamp blends postmodern attitude with sharp functionality. All clean lines, graphic contrast, and subtle wit, it captures the spirit of late 20th-century Italian design—when lighting wasn’t just about illumination, but about character. With its adjustable stem and bold silhouette, it’s as sculptural as it is practical. A desk lamp that doesn’t just sit there—it poses.

Italy

Carlo Forcolini (b. 1947) is an Italian designer whose work blends playfulness with precision. A co-founder of the iconic Memphis-adjacent design group Alias and later a longtime collaborator with Artemide, Forcolini’s pieces often straddle the line between art and utility—bold silhouettes, graphic gestures, and a wink of surrealism. His designs feel theatrical yet exacting, always balancing form with a touch of narrative.
