Originally designed in 1985 by Angelo Mangiarotti – a celebrated Italian architect, sculptor and designer – Accelsa embodies a blend of timeless elegance and contemporary appeal. Crafted from delicate, mouth-blown Venetian frosted white glass, the table lamp emits a gentle, diffused light, creating an ambient atmosphere that adds tranquillity to any space.
With its understated character and graceful silhouette, Accelsa stands out as a centrepiece in modern interiors, adding sophistication and charm to any room. The piece is a welcome addition to Karakter's expanding array of Angelo Mangiarotti lighting, bringing back some of the designer's finest creations and presenting the most extensive collection of his designs to date.
To make his mouthblown glass lamps Angelo Mangiarotti worked with the best of the best Venetian glassmakers, an ethos honoured by Karakter in its Mangiarotti Collection.
Italian architect, sculptor and designer Angelo Mangiarotti was born in Milan in 1921.
Mangiarotti is quoted to have said, ”Happiness comes from honesty”. A quote that hints to his overall design approach rooted in the firm belief that architecture was a practical discipline and that industrial design was an expression of fine craftsmanship. He wanted each individual material to be respected and to be used in an appropriate and honest way.
Beyond his many architectural feats, Mangiarotti’s body of work boasts a wide array of creative projects from sculpture, to products and lighting. Over the course of his career, he held lecturing positions at a number of distinguished design and architecture schools in Italy and abroad, he won numerous awards in both design and architecture, and his work has been included in exhibitions and collections at some of the world’s leading art and design institutions such as Centre Pompidou in Paris, Triennale Design Museum in Milan and Gallery MA in Tokyo.
