copernico
design by Carlotta de Bevilacqua

Artemide Copernico 500 LED suspension light, designed by Carlotta de Bevilacqua.
Copernico is made from a single laser-cut sheet of anodised aluminium; when off the
device appears completely flat. The articulation with copper contacts allows the power
supply to pass between the concentric ellipses that make up the structure, and enables
these to be rotated independently over 360°. avauilable at: artemide.us

rose li
designed by: Albi

Way back when we lived in London we studied Tai Chi at a church near Charing Cross
station. “Head up, shoulders down” was Master Rose Li’s repeated advice in each class
and these wise words are still with me and I keep on trying, with my head up shoulders
down. The first lamp I made that lead to the Rose Li collection came from the feeling of
Tai Chi, with your head in the clouds and your feet rooted deep in the earth. Copper, a
precious metal alongside silver and gold, is used in the Rose Li collection in its natural
polished color as a contemporary interpretation for candles.

The lamps are rechargeable and therefore free from cables and may be placed
anywhere they are needed. Lit with 2 LEDs they offer a warm coppery light.

cloud softlight
designed by: molodesign

The white textile shade of cloud - comprised of hundreds of cellular honeycomb-like forms -
is lit internally by energy-efficient LED and radiates a gentle, all around, ambient quality of
light. The beautiful, low glare light emanating from cloud makes it ideal for reading, doing
detailed work, or simply bringing a new impression to a space. Beneath the textile shade,
the visually delicate, demountable wooden bases of cloud floor + table softlight make
clever use of a flexible and hidden connection to elegantly join each of it’s three legs
together. avilable at: molodesign.com

frosted polymer cubes that diffuse the glow from four energy efficient LEDs. A 10 watt downlight

energy efficient LED technology. Fully dimmable with electronic low voltage or TRIAC dimmer.

gregg
designed by: Ludovica+Roberto Palomba

An organic, elegant and familiar shape that does not use pure geometry as its point of
reference and is therefore truer and closer to the exemplarity that we find in nature.
Gregg is a concentration of purity, eccentricity and freedom with the trademark
design of Ludovica + Roberto Palomba.
Gregg is a decorative object with a special, innovative formality. The eclectic personality
of its volume offers a different image depending on where you view it from. Gregg is a
hanging lamp, ceiling light, wall light and table lamp. It has a white, satinised diffuser
that totally embraces the light source and gives excellent light diffusion.

spiry
designed by: Giovanni Barbato

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ironic and playful: a spiral of light, almost like a spinning top released into the air.
Spiry is a hanging lamp strongly characterised by its diffuser: created in white painted
aluminium, the diffuser is light and slender, like a soft tissue that is wrapped around the light
and that seems to want to continue spinning with spiral movements to accentuate the
light as it escapes downwards. Spiry’s form is simple and elegant in its visual effect, yet
extremely complex to create. It is suitable to light a variety of spaces in the home and,
at the same time, knows how to be a discrete protagonist of its surrounding environment.
A hint of irony? The fiery red cable that supports the light, making it nicely young
and modern. available at: axolight.it
