Button-like artifacts have been used for ornamentation since pre-history. The Button lamp, by Piero Lissoni, is a wonderful example of such ornamentation. Provides direct and diffused light through an opal glass diffuser held in place with an aluminum body. Button can be wall or ceiling mounted.

After receiving his degree in architecture form the Milan Polytecnic, Piero Lissoni worked as a furniture designer before founding his own studio in 1986, specializing in architecture, interior and graphic design. He has collaborated with furniture companies, worked on a number of architecture projects in Japan and worked on design projects that have included a shopping center, an art gallery, a Cordon Bleu cooking school, logos and trademarks. He has received numerous awards including the Chicago Athenaeum 2002 Good Design Award for the Divina collection.
