About Artemis Lampada da terra
Artemis è una lampada da terra realizzata in legno bruciato e metallo. La lampada presenta una forma articolata in verticale che si eleva da una base zavorrata per garantire stabilità. La finitura in legno carbonizzato è ottenuta con la tecnica di bruciatura Shou Sugi Ban, che ne migliora la durabilità e rivela la venatura e la profondità del materiale. Un diffusore a forma di trifoglio distribuisce la luce in modo uniforme e un semplice interruttore on-off comanda la lampada. La forma trae ispirazione dai pinnacoli che coronano le cupole dell'architettura Moghul. La lampada misura 72 pollici di altezza e 22 pollici di diametro.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Artemis Floor Lamp is a sculptural lighting piece crafted from burnt wood and metal, defined by a vertically articulated form and a weighted, grounded base. The charred wood finish enhances durability while revealing material depth and texture. A trileaf-shaped lampshade softens and diffuses light evenly, while the restrained geometry balances craft and precision, allowing the lamp to function as both an ambient light source and a standalone object of design integrity.

Shou Sugi Ban (Japanese wood burning) - Design Challenge
- The primary challenge was achieving a precise balance between proportion and stability within a slender vertical form. Referencing historical Mughal finials required careful scaling to avoid literal replication while maintaining visual hierarchy. Structurally, the lamp demanded a weighted base and refined transitions to ensure stability without compromising elegance, requiring multiple iterations to align form, balance, and functional performance.
- Research
- The research was exploratory and practice-based, aiming to translate architectural heritage into a functional object. The objective was to study proportion, balance, and symbolic form. The methodology involved visual study, sketching, and material trials. Tools included drawings, scale mock-ups, and prototypes. The process was designer-led. Results refined stability and form. Insights showed heritage can inform contemporary design, impacting craft practice and product identity.
- Inspiration
- The design draws inspiration from Mughal architecture, specifically the finials crowning domes, studied for their proportions, vertical hierarchy, and symbolic grounding. The project translates these historic forms into a contemporary object through material experimentation with burnt wood and metal, using controlled charring to enhance durability while retaining a clear architectural lineage and crafted precision.
- Project Duration
- The project commenced in September 2025 and progressed through both design development and fabrication over an estimated period of 20–24 days. Fabrication was completed in October 2025, culminating in a fully realized prototype that reflects the intended design intent and material exploration
- Operation Flow
- The lamp is operated by a simple on-off switch, allowing light to gently diffuse through the shade while the sculpted base remains visually stable. Its tall, balanced form guides the eye upward, creating a calm presence in a room. The layered base ensures stability, while the dark finish reduces visual clutter, helping the light feel warmer and more focused in everyday use.
