An iconic Memphis totem that projects indirect light with bold graphic energy.

Ettore Sottsass created the Callimaco Floor Lamp in 1982 , turning a traditional uplighter into an architectural sculpture reminiscent of a giant brass instrument. Represented in MoMA’s collection, Sottsass—a founder of the Memphis Group—anchored the piece with a conical steel base, a tall yellow shaft, and a bright red cone diffuser that bounces soft ambient light off the ceiling. Complete with a polished chrome handle midway up the stem and a built-in touch dimmer, it stands as an expressive centerpiece of postmodern lighting design.

Features of the Callimaco Floor Lamp include:

  • Made in Italy from painted aluminum stem, painted steel base and diffuser, polished chrome handle.
  • Features an integrated 35W LED module (built directly into the fixture—no bulb replacements required).
  • Touch dimmer switch located directly on the stem for step-less brightness adjustments.
  • 3225 lumens (2700K warm white).
  • Powered by standard plug-in with a 96"l black cord.
  • Measures 78.75h x 15.4" base diam.

Famous for its postmodern sensibility—described as “a shotgun wedding between Bauhaus and Fisher-Price”—the group favored bold colors and asymmetrical shapes. Sottsass is represented in MoMA's collection by over 20 objects, including the Valentine Portable Typewriter.
