Discovery Wall Lamp by Ernesto Gismondi for Artemide
Discovery Wall Lamp by Ernesto Gismondi for Artemide
“To find out how to produce such a thin and light ring we turned to bicycle manufacturers, and the result was this very light luminous profile and an almost invisible lamp.” – Ernesto Gismondi
Based on minimal geometry, Discovery is composed of a very light aluminum ring houses an LED strip that injects light into a specially worked surface of transparent PMMA. When the appliance is turned on, the transparent interior appears to fill with light as if by magic, as absence is turned into a perfectly diffusing emitting surface. This unique result is obtained through Discovery’s direct and indirect emissions, which produce an embracing and uniform light.
