Stellar Nebula is a family of suspension lamps designed by BIG to interpret and enhance artisan
glass blowing with innovative finishing techniques.
Values, roles and limits of industrial and artisanal production are the core of this project idea,
which aims to find a solution of industrial uniqueness.
Artemide has always pursued past and future knowledge, enhanced traditional manufacturing
within contemporary design.
BIG shapes a suspension lamp with the beauty of craftmanship, proclaims a commendation to the
uniqueness which comes from ancient techniques handed downthrough the generations.
The master glassmaker is in fact called upon to not only shape the glass by blowing into a standard
mould but to also express his know-how with techniques that softly reshape the regular, basic
shape and accentuate the diversity of each handcrafted piece.
Three different sizes of blowing moulds generate pieces that are always unique.
The glass that is created is then treated with an innovative dichroic finishing process.
Artisan know-how and industrial innovation thus come together in the beauty of the material that
enhances the magic of the interaction between glass and light.
