Product Story
A family of lighting in which mechanical intelligence turns into a statement of beauty. Three metal rods are inserted into the sphere through an ingenious mechanism inspired by the art of watchmaking, thus forming the bezel that supports the glass sphere. The movable rods unfold inside the diffuser and support the glass sphere as a result of the extremely precise geometric connections and balanced weights. Function and appearance are also in perfect harmony in the diffuser. Embossed horizontal strips hide the source from view, reduce glare, and provide more even light spread. The device combines tradition and innovation, the ancient accumulation of the art of glassblowing with a technological perspective for the future. Atelier Oi's projects are always filled with intelligence, quality, emotion, poetics and, above all, respect for values such as sustainability, ethical responsibility and production responsibility, which are very important to Artemide. The glass and the frame are two free elements joined together by a simple and easily reversible mechanical mechanism; The optical system produces a comfortable and highly efficient light, the diffuser is achieved through a single manufacturing process, all production and maintenance features are calibrated to achieve a perfectly sustainable product. Elegance, poetics and ethics, which also stand out in this project, are the hallmarks of Atelier Oi's work; It can combine and bring together materials, visions, and technologies into a "form" that is the exact result of all these aspects, and in doing so, convey great emotion.
