A table named after the London postcode of his former home. It was there that the model stood for years: a makeshift table dating from the post-war era: narrow, long, and with overhangs. The format appealed to the designer so much that he used it as the basis for his own design.

Carlotta de Bevilacqua, Architect and Designer
“When you face a lighting project, there is always an ethical aspect to it. Light is like water and air for human beings and nature: we cannot live without it. Designing a lamp is not just drawing a shape but taking care of energy efficiency and lighting performance to better people’s lives, answering to their needs and desires. For me, every lighting project is a balance between the technical dimensions and an anthropological approach.” The goal with the lamps Carlotta de Bevilacqua made with Artemide over the years was always to create a long lasting, durable, easy-t..

“We are interested in discovering form, not dictating it. Rather than imposing ideas from our imagination onto the material, we try to curate material qualities and production methodology to yield unpredictable forms organically. We’re exploring this theme continuously and the new works presented this year are more sophisticated than before, while still fitting our conceptual mission. We like dark, mysterious, and surreal design. We always focus on the emotional and phenomenological aspects of lighting, and our way of doing so is through an investigation of materials and process..
