Michele De Lucchi
Born in Italy in 1961, Michele De Lucchi designed the Tolomeo in 1987. The lamp is now available in sizes from mini to mega is arguably Artemide’s most iconic fixture. Having a background in architecture and industrial design, De Lucchi also favors a craftsman-like approach and since 1990 through the line “Produzione Privata,” he has created a series of artisan-produced items such as small sculptures carved with a power saw.
Ipno is a suspension appliance with a magical effect.
It features an innovative optical unit that directs and concentrates light with a soft emission through its spiral patterned diffuser.
The optical unit works according to a Total Internal Reflection (TIR) principle to direct the emission. It comes to life when light passes through the material, but only a minimum rate of light is emitted into the environment in a diffused and uncontrolled manner. Ipno combines tradition and innovation, manufacturing savoir faire and optical competence into a harmonious shape.
Available in a sleek black & gold finish, Ipno adds elegance to any interior.
-Internal reflector in PMMA.
-Spiral patterns.
