Artemide Vitruvio Suspension in blown glass 1 x E27 Ø 40 cm

It is a family of lamps in which mechanical intelligence becomes an aesthetic expression. Central elements of the project are the thin structure and the blown glass diffuser. An ingenious mechanism inspired by watchmaking allows the insertion of three metal rods inside the sphere, thus forming the structure that supports the glass globe. The movable rods open inside the diffuser and thanks to the extreme precision of the interlocking of the geometries and the balance of the weights they support the glass sphere both when it is facing upwards in the data table and floor versions and when it is facing down into suspension. The transparent glass is blown with a shape dictated by an optical intelligence. The horizontal lines in relief prevent direct vision of the source, limit glare and spread the light more uniformly.
