Wish You Were Here is the first project that brings Discovery's
patented optical principle to interact with a new dimension,
no longer just two-dimensional. It folds the surface of the
transparent plate to create a volume, a structure that is
generated by the optical principle itself.
Discovery, designed by Ernesto Gismondi is the perfect
synthesis of the values, knowledge, innovative research and
know-how of Artemide. It is an optical patented principle able
to interpretate a good light that interact with each space, life
and ambiental rhythm.
Wish You Were Here brings these qualities to the smaller
dimension of the personal space.
"An homage to heritage and technology, a simple gesture
that not only lights up the personal space of creativity but also
bends with light a third dimension."
Carolina Gismondi de Bevilacqua
Totally absent and dematerialized when turned off, it acquires
volume when turned on thanks to the light which, injected
into it, spreads from the pattern of micro-incisions designed
to obtain perfect uniformity.
The injection of light starts from the upper limit so as not
to dazzle, the calculation of the micro-incisions keeps the
distribution of light constant without altering the luminous
measurement of the emission along the fold and brings the
light onto the surface in the most correct way.
It represents a scalable principle that can join the space
evolving into different light solutions.
