Ashoka | Table Lamp by Ettore Sottsass for MEMPHIS Srl

Ashoka Table Lamp by Ettore Sottsass

Totemic, architectural, and charged with color, Ashoka captures Ettore Sottsass at his most expressive. Built from stacked forms that feel closer to monuments than furniture, the piece embodies Sottsass’s belief that objects should speak—to culture, to emotion, to the rituals of everyday life.

Rather than blending into its surroundings, Ashoka declares itself. It is playful without irony, serious without austerity—a perfect distillation of Sottsass’s postmodern vision.

A design object that refuses neutrality and rewards bold placement.
