CALIPSO NEIL POULTON
Neil Poulton Born in Scotland in 1963, Neil Poulton is best known for technology-based product design including the Ageing Pen, made from “living” plastic which wears away with use and LaCie’s ground-breaking FireWire Speakers. Having created multiple award-winning products for companies all over the world, Poulton lives and works in Paris where he continues to focus on simple, mass-produced objects of practical use.
Geometry Calipso’s unique honeycomb surface was generated by feeding a photo of the moon into an image-based algorithm. The result is a fractal shape, an impure geometry that displays the irregular beauty of nature. Small circles of varying diameters are arranged side by side with precision.
Comfort Calipso defines a perfect emission for workplaces. The shell is placed over a thermoformed screen, which helps avoid a direct view of the LED circuit while maintaining its characteristic “dot effect.

Performance Calipso is a highly emotional lighting object that joins together optical and aesthetic intelligence. While its performance is ideal for office use, it moves away from the traditional look of technical appliances designed for work environments. Calipso is a product perfectly half-way between home and professional use, suited for a variety of application fields. It meets Artemide’s standard of delivering high performance lighting with a unique and emotional expressiveness.
