After completing his studies architecture, his friendship with Ettore Sottsass and Alessandro Mendini took him to Milan at the end of the Seventies, where he became one of the main activists in the provocative designer group Memphis. His approach to the creation of new styles in design helped to play an important role in the Memphis movement, but by the late 1980's, de Lucchi had moved on to more traditional designs. After working with Artemide to develop some of their lasting bestsellers, de Lucchi created his Produzione Privata label, which creates small series of his designs featuring exquisite craftsmanship.

Customer ReviewsVery nicely crafted and innovative dimming control The fixture is elegant, with a beautifully crafted glass globe. Particularly nice is the the glass stem which leads to the glove, which also diffuses a bit of light. The glass portions are connected to the metal shaft with a stainless steel touch-controlled dimming device that is very subtle and quite intuitive. The only drawback criticism is that at the base of the globe their is a minor bit of shadowing through of the fastening within. Overall I am very happy with the fixture.
