I walked around the showroom for months not noticing this lamp, and then one day I saw it, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.  It’s quiet and understated, but in a powerful and poetic way ( like a haiku).  I love all the different forms it can morph into and it slightly reminds me of an old school Star Trek model (just for the record, I am not a Treki, not that I have anything against Trekies.  Naoto Fukasawa (say it out loud, it feels beautiful in your mouth) distilled something magnificent here.

Recently Artemide started a new campaign called “I light you”. Here are all the six Artemide I Light You shoots.

I saw a photo of a lamp by Karim Rashid called the Cadmo by Artemide.  I then saw it in person when it came into the showroom.  It is quite a show piece.
