LE LUNE D’ACQUA X ARTEMIDE
By Benedetta Tagliabue and Ersilia Vaudo
Le Lune d’acqua is inspired by the moons that orbit Jupiter. A Sphere, mysteriously luminous, is the center of the project.
Two rings support it, allowing it to rotate freely suspended in the center of their intersection. They are the fundamental structural element that communicates with the space, supporting the central illuminating nucleus allowing dynamic movements and reflections on their shiny and mirrored surfaces.
The “Lune d’Acqua” lighting system reinvents Discovery’s patented optical principle, shaping it into a complex surface, almost as if it were a luminous eye.
The light was launched in Milan Design Week 2024 in Artemide Monforte Flagship store.
