Catalogue Essay
Collaborators Franco Albini and Franca Helg designed the present model ceiling light for Arteluce in the early 1960s. The pair designed a number of light fixtures with the same partially-painted shades, including a wall light and a two-armed ceiling light. This motif is colloquially referred to as Ochetta, meaning goose, in reference to the shape of the shade and the connecting bent metal rod.
