Artemide | Discovery Floor Lamp
MODEL OPTIONS:
Discovery Floor Lamp by Artemide. To find out how to produce such a thin and light ring we turned to bicycle manufacturers, and the result was this very light luminous profile and an almost invisible lamp.” – Ernesto Gismondi. Discovery is a family of appliances based on minimal geometry. A very light aluminum ring houses an LED strip that injects light into a specially worked surface of transparent PMMA. The diffuser is composed of a perfectly transparent PMMA surface, processed with micro particles so small that the surface is hardly perceptible when the appliance is turned off. When the appliance is turned on, the transparent interior appears to fill with light as if by magic, as absence is turned into a perfectly diffusing emitting surface. This unique result is obtained through Discovery’s direct and indirect emissions, which produce an embracing and uniform light. Their geometry and layout are calculated to obtain constant emission throughout the surface. Discovery is an unprecedented development of a well-known optical principle, conveyed through the controlled interaction with matter and a focus on its yield and perceptive qualities. Available in floor, wall & suspension. Discovery Floor Lamp by Artemide is designed by Ernesto Gismondi.
Founded in Milan in 1959, Artemide is the definitive Italian lighting brand — the company behind some of the most iconic lamps ever made. The Tizio (Richard Sapper, 1972) conducts electricity through its counterbalanced arm, eliminating visible cables entirely. The Tolomeo (Michele De Lucchi, 1987) adjusts to any angle with one hand and never dates. The Nesso mushroom, the mouth-blown Gople, the modular Alphabet of Light by BIG — each one a permanent reference point in contemporary design, several in MoMA's permanent collection.
Artemide calls its philosophy "The Human Light" — the idea that a lamp should respond to the person using it, not the other way around. Every piece is engineered to be adjusted, repositioned, and lived with for decades. LED technology is integrated without compromise: the brand has won five Red Dot Awards, two Interior Design Best of Year Awards, and the iF Product Design Award for a collaboration with Mercedes-Benz.
As an authorised Artemide retailer, Modernnest carries the full collection — table, floor, wall, pendant and outdoor — with free shipping on most orders.
