Artemide - Empatia 36 suspension lamp
Empatia was born from the combination of the great tradition of blown glass and the LED technology of Artemide. The strong interest in the expressive potential of the material has led to collaboration with master glassmakers, to acquire full control of the particular plasticity of Venetian glass and to work on the balance between surface and light, between thin densities and transparencies. The result are clear, pure objects, that the craftsmanship makes the pieces unique. Transparency and opacity are expertly dosed in order to obtain a glass that reflects and diffuses light without dazzling, without losing efficiency. The result is an optical machine that has its heart in a high-performance LED light engine, which is separated from the glass emissive body in favor of thermal efficiency and performance. The light is controlled with maximum efficiency and guided to the glass diffuser through a transparent light pipe with a very low absorption coefficient
