“I was designing a large, cone-shaped lamp diffuser and as
I was drawing the components, I thought I could simplify the
shape by integrating the light bodies into the arms of the frame.
When I saw the beauty of these luminous lines, I was convinced
that it would be unnecessary to add a traditional tapered diffuser.
So I undressed the project, removing all the superstructures and
what was left is a slim and light chandelier reminiscent of arboreal
inflorescence. Artemide embraced the idea and has the great
merit of having developed a specific lighting technology for it.
Indeed, although the light is not shielded by a diffuser, the light
never strikes the eyes because the lenses of the LEDs direct
it vertically onto the work surface so the lamp never causes
glare”.
