Taking its name from the french word for 'armadillo', the 'tatou' series draws its influences from that
of armour, particularly that of classic antique japan, offering dynamism, lightness and flexibility.
The idea behind the luminaire is made-up of four identical elements, each one interwoven to
form a unified dome which diffuses direct light either upwards or downwards, as well as allowing
light to pass through as a result of its perforated shell. available in a floor, table and suspension
models,'tatou' is offered in two different sizes and three finishes: white, black or plum.

Artemide Copernico 500 LED suspension light, designed by Carlotta de Bevilacqua.
Copernico is made from a single laser-cut sheet of anodised aluminium; when off the
device appears completely flat. The articulation with copper contacts allows the power
supply to pass between the concentric ellipses that make up the structure, and enables
these to be rotated independently over 360°. avauilable at:

The white textile shade of cloud - comprised of hundreds of cellular honeycomb-like forms -
is lit internally by energy-efficient LED and radiates a gentle, all around, ambient quality of
light. The beautiful, low glare light emanating from cloud makes it ideal for reading, doing
detailed work, or simply bringing a new impression to a space. Beneath the textile shade,
the visually delicate, demountable wooden bases of cloud floor + table softlight make
clever use of a flexible and hidden connection to elegantly join each of it’s three legs
together. avilable at:

An organic, elegant and familiar shape that does not use pure geometry as its point of reference
and is therefore truer and closer to the exemplarity that we find in nature. Gregg is a concentration
of purity, eccentricity and freedom with the trademark design of Ludovica + Roberto Palomba.
Gregg is a decorative object with a special, innovative formality. The eclectic personality of its
volume offers a different image depending on where you view it from.
Gregg is a hanging lamp, ceiling light, wall light and table lamp. It has a white, satinised
diffuser that totally embraces the light source and gives excellent light diffusion.

Ironic and playful: a spiral of light, almost like a spinning top released into the air.
Spiry is a hanging lamp strongly characterised by its diffuser: created in white painted
aluminium, the diffuser is light and slender, like a soft tissue that is wrapped around the light
and that seems to want to continue spinning with spiral movements to accentuate the
light as it escapes downwards. Spiry’s form is simple and elegant in its visual effect, yet
extremely complex to create. It is suitable to light a variety of spaces in the home and,
at the same time, knows how to be a discrete protagonist of its surrounding environment.
A hint of irony? The fiery red cable that supports the light, making it nicely young
and modern. available at:

Valeo, which, when fully extended, stands eight feet tall and has a nine foot reach. Cofounder
and Director of Design Nick Sheridan touches on the challenges of creating bold new forms: “It’s
always tough to know how far to push a design. We strive to keep it functional, but also to
ensure significant visual impact,” explained Sheridan. “The Valeo accomplishes both without
compromise.” available at:
