Alambicco Artemide
Designed by Neil Poulton, Alambicco is yet another example of hi-tech softened by artisan technique. And yet another reference to the traditional brass-and-glass days in its ornate diffuser.
A modular pendant fixture that can be suspended horizontally or vertically (two lengths, 1,510mm and 1,010mm) depending on the version, it features blown glass, playing with transparencies and textures to control and diffuse light. Each piece is unique. The centrally extruded aluminium structure supports LED circuits on the four opposing faces and is the technological core around which the various layers develop.
The first layer is a knurled glass cylinder, designed
to refract the view of the technological components without completely hiding them, cutting out any potential glare. On this there are diffusers with rounded geometries, always transparent but textured by a process inspired by the traditional Venetian ‘balloton’ technique (whereby a diamond pattern is formed by blowing the glass into bronze moulds).
Te various components that make up the diffuser refract light according to the varying thicknesses of the glass, breaking down and transforming the image of the technical gubbins in the core into a reflection of geometries and colours. Tese reflections blend with the chromatic hues of the surrounding environment.

Funivia Stellar Nebula
Artemide
Two collections come together with a Stellar Nebula diffuser now available for the Funivia system.
Designed by BIG, Stellar Nebula is a
family of lamps based on artisanal glass blowing combined with innovative physical vapour deposition (PVD) finishing techniques. Te initial shapes of the diffusers are achieved through glass blowing and then freely shaped by master glassmakers to always create unique pieces. Te result has the iridescence of a bubble.
Funivia is a highly versatile, horizontal and vertical ‘rope’ or cable system (with a sassy red option), which is both load bearing and power conduit. It is designed to ‘break out of the rigidity of fixed modules’, offering endless permutations and lighting possibilities – linear pendants, spots, decorative pendants, accent modules and more, all with multiple options.
