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 As co-founder of Artemide, Emma Gismondi Schweinberger played a pivotal role in shaping post-war Italian Design.
