IPNO MICHELE DE LUCCHI
Michele de Lucchi Born in Italy in 1961, Michele De Lucchi designed the Tolomeo in 1987. The lamp now available in sizes from mini to mega is arguably Artemide’s most iconic fixture. Having a background in architecture and industrial design, De Lucchi also favors a craftsman-like approach and since 1990 through the line “Produzione Privata,” he has created a series of artisan-produced items such as small sculptures carved with a power saw.
Innovation Within the blown glass diffuser lies a powerful optical unit which directs and concentrates light on the glazed bottom surface of the diffuser, opening it up with a soft direct emission. The inner optical unit works according to a Total Internal Reflection (TIR) principle to direct emission; it comes to life when light passes through the material, but only a minimum rate of light is emitted into the environment in a diffused and uncontrolled manner.

Tradition Ipno Glass is crafted of a handblown crystal glass using traditional Italian techniques. It creates a magical effect as its clear body shapes the light through soft and curvy geometries.
