Richard Sapper
Germany, 1932
Born in Germany but based in Milan, Richard Sapper creates innovative products by mining the knowledge of far-flung disciplines. One of the few industrial designers never to have attended a school of design or architecture, Sapper studied philosophy, anatomy, engineering and economics. Sapper began his design career working in the styling department of Mercedes-Benz. In 1958 he went to Italy, where he worked with such luminaries as Gio Ponte, Marco Zanuso, and Gae Aulenti. In 1981, Sapper became a corporate design consultant for IBM, for whom he produced a multitude of instantly recognizable designs such as the ThinkPad notebook computer.
A ten-time winner of the Compasso d’Oro, he created the iconic Sapper Kettle for Alessi and the incredibly successful Tizio table lamp for Artemide in 1972. Called a ‘designer's dream,’ this revolutionary table lamp has a sleek, narrow body, adjustable counterbalanced arms and head and swivels smoothly in four directions. In 1972, the use of the lamp’s arms to conduct electricity was a never-before-seen feature, a true innovation representative of Sapper’s work. In over 50 years he has designed more than 200 products and is an impressively versatile designer who can create compelling visual images for sophisticated electronic technology.
Founded in Milan by Ernesto Gismondi and Sergio Mazza in the 1960s, Artemide is a worldwide leader in lighting design, committed to technological innovation, research, and human interaction. Artemide aligned with the Memphis Design Movement and was an early proponent of LED technology. Ethical conduct and social responsibility are at the heart of Artemide’s values.
Artemide’s expansive catalog spans Logico’s organic and elegant hand-made blown glass diffusers to the Castore family’s clean and simple spheres. They have created award-winning, iconic collaborations with some of the world’s most talented designers, including Naoto Fukasawa, David Chipperfield, Zaha Hadid, Jean Nouvel, Karim Rashid, and Herzog & De Meuron, upholding Italy’s reputation for excellence and innovation.
