Vintage Dedalo Umbrella Stand by Emma Gismondi for Artemide Milano, Italy

Iconic Italian Space Age Design

Designed by Emma Gismondi Schweinberger for Artemide Milano during the 1970s, the Dedalo umbrella stand is one of the most recognizable examples of Italian Space Age Design. With its bold geometric silhouette and futuristic aesthetic, the piece perfectly captures the optimism and experimentation that defined Italian Design during the Space Age era.

Sculptural Form and Timeless Appeal

Characterized by its cylindrical form and rhythmic circular perforations, the Dedalo transforms an everyday object into a striking sculptural statement piece. The interplay between solid surfaces and negative space creates a visually dynamic form that remains as contemporary today as it was over five decades ago. Its distinctive appearance has made it an enduring icon of Italian Modernism and a highly sought-after collector's piece.

Emma Gismondi Schweinberger and Artemide

A Rare Collectible Design Object

Today, the Dedalo is regarded as a highly desirable example of Vintage Italian Design, appreciated by collectors and design enthusiasts alike. Whether placed within a Mid-Century Modern, Space Age or contemporary interior, its sculptural presence and timeless aesthetic make it a versatile and luxury collectible design object.
