Mezza Luna Piantana Floor Lamp by In-es.artdesign

Mezza Luna Piantana by In-es.artdesign is a 70 cm Nebulite half moon suspended from a sinuous cast-iron stem that curves 236 cm high. It is designed by Oçilunam and made to order in Ariccia, just outside Rome.

The Luna collection began in 2003, when In-es.artdesign perfected Nebulite: a resin-and-fiber composite laid up by hand so that every shade carries the uneven, softly glowing surface of the moon. No two pieces read exactly alike, and that is the point.

The Design Story

In-es.artdesign was founded in 2003 by the Italian artist and designer Oçilunam to bring art and design together in light. The studio works with craft-inspired techniques, balancing light and shadow with pure color and contrasting textures, and makes every piece in Italy under strict quality control. The Mezza Luna Piantana belongs to the Luna collection.

Why You'll Love It

The Mezza Luna Piantana works like a sculpture that happens to give light. Place it in a living room corner, beside a sofa or in an entry, and it holds the space even in daylight.

The surface is never flat or plastic-looking: the hand-laid fibers in the Nebulite give the glow depth and movement, so the Mezza Luna Piantana looks different at dusk, at night and in daylight.

Choose from 19 options in the shade finish menu above; each tile shows the color combination. Screens show color a little differently than real life, and the hand-finished surface varies slightly from piece to piece.

Made for Real Life

We supply the Mezza Luna Piantana with a UL-listed cable for US installation; the bulb is sold separately so you can choose your own color temperature.

Questions We Hear Most

What is the Mezza Luna Piantana made of?

The Mezza Luna Piantana is made of cast iron, steel, Nebulite (fiberglass). Nebulite is In-es.artdesign's own resin-and-fiber composite, finished by hand in Italy, which is why each shade has its own slightly irregular texture.

Does every Mezza Luna Piantana look exactly the same?

No. Nebulite is laid up by hand, so each Mezza Luna Piantana has its own grain and slight variations in the surface. That irregularity is what gives it the look of the moon.

Will the Mezza Luna Piantana work with US wiring?

Yes. We order every Mezza Luna Piantana with a UL-listed cable for US installation. The bulb is not included; use the type shown in the specifications.

What do the add-ons on the Mezza Luna Piantana do?

The LED dimmer is fitted by In-es.artdesign so you can lower the light when you use a dimmable LED bulb. The RGB LED controller lets the light change color; In-es.artdesign offers it only with a white interior.

How long does the Mezza Luna Piantana take to arrive?

Each Mezza Luna Piantana is made to order in Italy and ships in 2 to 4 weeks. Because it is made for you, it is a final sale, so take a moment to check size and finish before you order; we are happy to help.

Can In-es.artdesign make the Mezza Luna Piantana in another color?
