Top: Empatia by Artemide

#1 Artemide’s Empatia by Carlotta de Bevilacqua

Empatia by Carlotta de Bevilacqua epitomises the marriage between glass-blowing tradition and LED technology that guides Italian manufacturer Artemide. In collaboration with master glass blowers, the flexible quality of Venetian glass is exploited, resulting in one-of-a-kind glass shades that reflect light without glare. At the heart of Empatia is a high-performance LED-based light tube that was crafted separately from the glass emission, maximising lighting efficiency.

LED sources are incorporated into the lamp head. An enhanced version, the Demetra MD features a Motion Detector that senses moving objects and people, as it turns light on or off automatically. Demetra is available in reading, wall and spot versions, and can be configured with a table base, clamp or fixed support.

#3 Anglepoise Giant 1227 by George Carwardine

Originally designed for the Roald Dahl Museum, Giant 1227 is a larger-than-life tribute to the author’s love for his writing desk lamp. The gargantuan piece has a 270cm base to shade height – almost threefold in terms of scale to the iconic Original 1227TM. It will serve as a statement piece in any space.

Glo by Penta

#5 Penta Glo (Pendant) by Carlo Colombo
