Artemide - Minomushi floor lamp

IN-EI ISSEY MIYAKE was born from the encounter between Artemide’s expertise in the world of light and the innovative approach of the Reality Lab. towards materials and design. IN-EI ISSEY MIYAKE made by Artemide is a collection of pendant lamps, table and floor; their shadows created using mathematical principles, in 2 or 3 dimensions, are walked by subtle and beautiful shades of light. The inimitable folds, which determine the plastic shapes and the solidity of the lamps, are made with an original technology, created by Issey Miyake. Thanks to the recycled material they are made of, which has a higher luminous transparency than paper, these lamps perfectly maintain their shape without requiring any internal structure.

Issey Miyake

Issey Miyake founded the Miyake Design Studio in 1970 and began presenting collections in Paris in 1973. Miyake’s exploration of the space created between the body and the tissue that surrounds it has evolved, always starting from a single piece of fabric. Miyakeconstantly turned to the future and the next stage of design, whether it is the functional and versatile series "PLEATS PLEASE ISSEY MIYAKE" (1993-) or the series "A-POC" (A Piece of Cloth/ 1998-), which introduced a single process where continuous rolls of fabric, texture and clothing could be made from a single piece of yarn.
Today, Miyake works with his research and development team called Reality Lab to explore new possibilities to do things and build on the distinctive features of "regenerative" materials, ever accurate to the need for research and development of materials that address our depleted natural resources and the environment.
