Italian 'Shogun' Floor Lamp by Mario Botta for Artemide, 1986

$5,400.00

The “Shogun” floor lamp by Swiss architect Mario Botta for Artemide, designed in 1986 as part of the Masters Collection.

A cylindrical stem rises from a powder-coated cast iron base, its surface punctuated by bands of black striping that introduce a graphic rhythm along the vertical form. Above, a perforated metal diffuser sits beneath a curved reflector, both adjustable—allowing the light to be shaped rather than fixed.

The perforations break the light into a softer, patterned glow, while the upper reflector catches and releases it outward, shifting the atmosphere depending on its position.

A widely recognized icon—held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art—the Shogun is often chosen not just for its presence, but for its ability to actively shape light within a space. A piece that reads as both object and instrument.
