The Artemide light has never been solely a
function of seeing, or an opportunity for formal experimentation with
lamps as objects. For more than forty years, Artemide has aimed to propose
light as a companion to people, as a source of physical pleasure and
mental comfort. Artemide has done so, with different work groups,
searching through the whole design process, starting with a declaration of
values - The human light.
Beyond the definition, the human light is
intelligent light. A light that knows it has to relate to people,
accompanying them in their daily activities. That is why Artemide's
attention today is concentrated on the concept of the context of life,
understood as a specific microenvironment in which an event occurs where
one or more persons are the protagonist, every context of life can be
associated with different light contexts, or the different atmospheres of
light characterized by the activities that, at various moments of the day,
have us as protagonists, starting from these contexts and the lighting
conditions that characterize them, Artemide proposes products capable of
meeting people's multiple needs and offering the light performance
characteristics most suited to each moment of life, it is light that is
flexible and adaptable, which produces the optimum visual precision, and
consumes the minimum environmental resources, it is Artemide light.
