aledin tec task lamp

Design Alberto & Francesco Meda, 2016
Anodized aluminum, polycarbonate
Made in Italy by Kartell

Aledin is an LED task lamp available in two different versions, Tec and Dec, whose distinctive element is the diffuser. Aledin Tec has a flat head which throws a direct luminous beam and is also adjustable thanks to the movement of the diffuser itself. These characteristics make it suitable for office use while Dec, on the other hand, is defined by the faceted decoration of its cone-shaped diffuser. On this model, the luminous beam throws a wider and more atmospheric light which well lends itself to residential applications. The two articulating arms in polycarbonate, which constitute the structure of both models, are characterized by two aluminum rods endowed with a conductivity function. In class 3, this lighting fixture has a high-performing luminosity in the area of 600 lm and enables considerable savings in energy consumption thanks to its latest generation 5.6 W LED lamp bulbs.

Alberto Meda

Alberto Meda (b. 1945) of Lenno, Italy studied Mechanical Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano. From 1973 he was the technical manager of Kartell, in charge of the development of projects of furniture and plastic laboratory equipments. Alberto Meda came to design from engineering, bringing with him a pragmatic mind, and an attention to details as well as formal concerns. His applied-science background gave Meda the recognizable stamp of elegant simplicity, in designs that are at once modern in form and organic in feel. His work caught the eye of Rolf Fehlbaum, the chairman of the Swiss manufacturer Vitra, who commissioned the Italian engineer to design a chair, and beginning a collaboration that continues to this day.

Kartell's image and its 59 years of history are described through the company's products. The development, the corporate strategies, the attention the company has paid to technology, the project and the design can be appreciated by observing the products Kartell has produced. Kartell's products express the language and the atmosphere of the period in which they were created, but at the same time, they are "contemporary articles," they incorporate many other values and messages and this is why they have become an integral part of our domestic design world.
