Italian lighting company Artemide recently featured a range of new lighting concepts at Salone del Mobile.Milano that merge creativity with functional design. Artemide designs and produces light through a synthesis of humanistic vision, scientific research and manufacturing that are all measured with environmental and social sustainability.
Osidio
Designed by Michele De Lucci, Osidio is a thin, organic chandelier where everything stems from an optical concept. Three branched arms distribute six luminous heads, with each light terminal being able to swivelled to generate indirect light emission.
The separate heads allow Osidio to control the light in space in a free and flexible way, directing the light emission fully or partly upwards, towards the work surface or onto the walls to generate atmospheres of light that accommodate various activities.
Veil
Designed by BIG, Veil is a system of eleven arms that are connected around a technological core that supports them. The fluid and precise curvature reveals a high design and manufacturing competence. Veil is a graphic and minimal presence that can be dressed with an elegant diffuser.
The fabrics selected for the diffusers come only from fibres existing in nature, spun through mechanical processes without undergoing chemical processes. They have been chosen for their aesthetic and technical characteristics and for the environmental, economic and social sustainability of the crops from which they derive.
Stellar Nebula
Also designed by BIG, Stellar Nebula is a family of suspension lamps with which BIG wanted to interpret and enhance artisan glass blowing by combining it with innovative finishing techniques.
In this project, BIG designs the shapes of a suspension lamp and allows the beauty of the craftsmanship come through. The glass that is created is then treated with an innovative dichroic finishing process.
La Linea
La Linea is a flexible light tube capable of being arranged in non-standard geometries and which easily fits into indoor and outdoor spaces. Designed by BIG, the fixing elements disappear into the cross sections allowing countless applications and combination of factors including light quality, flexibility and modularity.
Able to adjust to extreme weather conditions, La Linea generates a uniform and comfortable diffused light with extremely high efficiency thanks to the patented optic. It can be a minimal presence in a setting, disappearing into the existing architecture, or become a strongly expressive element that adds rhythm and character to settings.
El Poris
Designed by Herzog & de Meuron, El Poris is a modern, graphic chandelier that is based around a large elementary geometric structure that features light bulbs housed in traditional E27 sockets. Calendared steel tubes of decreasing diameter are joined by four vertical mounts to create the structure.
