“To find out how to produce such a thin and light ring we turned to bicycle manufacturers, and the result was this very light luminous profile and an almost invisible lamp.” – Ernesto Gismondi

Discovery is a family of appliances based on minimal geometry. A very light aluminum ring houses an LED strip that injects light into a specially worked surface of transparent PMMA.
The diffuser is composed of a perfectly transparent PMMA surface, processed with micro particles so small that the surface is hardly perceptible when the appliance is turned off.

When the appliance is turned on, the transparent interior appears to fill with light as if by magic, as absence is turned into a perfectly diffusing emitting surface.
This unique result is obtained through Discovery’s direct and indirect emissions, which produce an embracing and uniform light. Their geometry and layout are calculated to obtain constant emission throughout the surface.

Discovery is an unprecedented development of a well-known optical principle, conveyed through the controlled interaction with matter and a focus on its yield and perceptive qualities.

Available in wall & suspension.

Artemide

Milan, Italy

The Tolomeo lamp, balanced on slim aluminium arms with a tilting head, is one of the most recognizable lamps ever made. It belongs to Artemide, founded in Milan in 1960 by Ernesto Gismondi and Sergio Mazza, a company whose designs now sit in the collections of MoMA and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Tizio desk lamp is another Artemide classic, still in demand decades after its launch.

Today the catalogue spans desk and task lamps, floor lamps, pendants, wall and ceiling lights and architectural systems. Artemide has worked with Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron and Bjarke Ingels Group, among many others, and it develops its own optics and patented technologies. The company calls its approach Human Light: lighting designed around how people feel, see and work, with efficient LED sources and careful glare control. Sixty years in, Artemide still treats a lamp as an engineering problem and a piece of culture at once.
