Ettorino table lamp, colourful

Catellani & Smith's Ettorino table lamp combines the precise, understated aesthetic of classic architectural lamps with vibrant primary colours. Painted in blue, yellow and red, this table lamp features two slender aluminium arms and a cylindrical casing containing an integrated LED light source with an adjustable angle. Charming brass joints add a touch of elegance, while a small red dancer figure at one end of the arm provides a playful detail, with a metal wire extending from the dancer’s foot to a matching red iron base.

Thanks to its adjustable design and dimmable light source, the Ettorino lamp works perfectly as a task or reading light in both home and office settings. Enzo Catellani's expressive design and bold colours also make it a refreshing decorative accent on a side table or shelf. Handcrafted in Italy, the Ettorino lamp was awarded Best Table Lamp in the 2022 Prize Designs for Modern Furniture + Lighting competition.

Enzo Catellani

Catellani & Smith is an Italian lighting manufacturer specialising in handcrafted designer lamps and light installations. Founded in 1989 by Enzo Catellani, the company quickly grew from a one-man business into an internationally renowned design brand. Despite its two-part name, there was only one founder – Smith was a playful reference to Logan Smith, originally introduced as a "London architect", who, in fact, was neither an architect, nor from London, nor even a person, but rather Catellani's own horse. This humorous twist was the designer's way of shifting attention from himself while adding a whimsical touch to the brand.

Now a second-generation family business, Catellani & Smith takes the art of lighting very seriously: each fixture is crafted by hand along the Serio River in Lombardy, Italy, with every piece given exactly as much time as needed to achieve a flawless result.
