Sergio Mazza “Sigma” Ceiling or Wall Lights for Artemide, 1960s – Available Individually or as Sets

Iconic “Sigma” ceiling or wall lights designed by Sergio Mazza for Artemide in the 1960s, refined examples of Italian modernist lighting and among the most recognizable designs from Artemide’s early production.

Each fixture is defined by its pure circular geometry and extraordinary molded pressed-glass diffuser, finely worked with a dense radial pattern. Once illuminated, the glass comes alive, transforming the light into a warm, atmospheric glow while creating a striking sunburst effect that changes subtly according to the viewing angle.

The diffusers are embraced by elegant frames in nickel-plated brass, whose restrained presence enhances the purity of the circular silhouettes. Small cylindrical retaining pins punctuate each perimeter with precise industrial detail, becoming a distinctive visual signature while subtly revealing the construction of the fixtures.

Behind the glass, an internal reflector maximizes and distributes the light efficiently, allowing the textured diffuser to produce a soft and enveloping illumination without glare.

The Sigma was conceived as a versatile luminaire and can be installed either as a ceiling light or as a wall sconce. The lamps are available individually or as sets of two, three, four, or five, offering a wide range of decorative and architectural possibilities.

They may be installed as a single sculptural accent, arranged in a linear composition, positioned rhythmically along a hallway, mounted at different heights, or grouped together to create a striking constellation of light.

Their compact yet sculptural proportions make them particularly suitable for hallways, bedrooms, living areas, entrances, bathrooms, or hospitality interiors. Even when switched off, the fixtures read as refined circular objects; once illuminated, their radial glass surfaces reveal the full depth and sophistication of Mazza’s design.

All available examples are preserved in very good vintage condition. The molded pressed-glass diffusers remain well preserved, while the nickel-plated brass frames display an attractive age-related patina and only minor traces of use consistent with their history.

Timeless and highly collectible lighting pieces that perfectly reflect Sergio Mazza’s ability to combine technical precision, elegant materials, and atmospheric light.

Available individually or as sets of two, three, four, or five lights.
