Empatia Suspension Light
by Carlotta de Bevilacqua from ArtemideVariations
The Empatia Suspension Light by Artemide is inspired by the association between the excellent glass-blowing tradition and the LED technology of Artemide. High interest in the expressive potentials of this material resulted into co-operation with master glass blowers to gain full control of the unique suppleness of Venetian glass and to work on the balance between surface and light, between subtle densities and transparencies. Hence glass diffusers, which are clear at the top and frosted at the bottom, each of them unique in all respects. Transparency and opacity are wisely dosed to obtain a glass that reflects light without glaring and without losing efficiency. A transparent methacrylate light pipe guides the lamp into the diffuser, poking out from an interior reflector plate in painted white aluminum.
Artemide has a 3-word design philosophy, "the human light," that has guided them since their 1960 start in Milan, Italy. Artemide's task lamps--like the Tizio (1972) and the Tolomeo (1987)--are long-standing icons of modern Italian lighting. Working with an exceptional, evolving group of designers and architects, Artemide lighting has been able to broadly innovate with high tech materials, organic forms and advanced LED technology.
