Recognized for its “The Human Light” philosophy, luxury Italian lighting brand Artemide is defined by an unparalleled commitment to technological innovation, research, and human interaction. Artemide is a standout in the category of designer lamps, architectural and outdoor lighting, due in no small part to the impressive lineup of industry luminaries (think Michele De Lucchi, Ross Lovegrove, Herzog & de Meuron) with whom the brand collaborates. Whether on exhibition at The Met, The MoMA, or your unique project, Artemide’s lighting products are indeed icons of contemporary design.
EMPATIAM
Melding traditional glassblowing with Artemide’s state-of-the-art LED technology, EMPATIA was created by two dynamic women: Italian architect/designer (and Artemide President & CEO) Carlotta de Bevilacqua and Italian industrial designer Paola di Arianello. A simple, stunning, and high-performing suspension lamp that becomes even more aesthetically impactful when clustered, EMPATIA balances subtle densities and transparencies to absolute perfection.
GOPLE
Handcrafted using an ancient Venetian technique that transforms white glass to crystal, GOPLE is the invention of Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), a prestigious group of architects and designers with offices in Copenhagen and New York City. Its beautifully basic form—finished with exquisite metals and all the while maintaining the utmost respect for the environment—makes GOPLE an optimal choice for any contemporary environment. The GOPLE family from Artemide consists of a ceiling, floor, suspension, and table models… and even a convenient portable lamp.
CALIPSO
A captivating light by multi-award-winning Scottish product designer Neil Poulton—who is renowned for his designs in the fields of technology and lighting design—CALIPSO is a showstopper. It comprises a unique honeycomb pattern achieved by using tubes of differing diameters… a striking feature that not only makes CALIPSO visually pleasing, but also provides an even and comfortable light emission. CALIPSO by Artemide effectively expresses the imperfect beauty of nature, thus exemplifying organic design. Available in a ceiling, suspension, and linear model—plus an adaptable linear system—CALIPSO is well-suited to a variety of applications.
NH S4
A graceful, evocative suspension chandelier, Artemide’s nh S4 is the brainchild of Neri & Hu, a multidisciplinary design firm based in Shanghai, China founded by partners Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu. Encompassing white blown glass spheres attached to a brushed brass ring that acts as a “hook,” nh S4 is an extraordinarily versatile design; availing itself to countless hanging formations, nh S4 easily acclimates to whatever your design vision might be. And with the use of a low consumption retrofit LED source, this fixture is as sustainable as it is breathtaking. In addition to the suspension chandelier, nh S4 is also offered in a single suspension, floor, wall, and table version.
