This new portable lamp explores the connection between light, food and conviviality. It’s a portable lamp that interacts with objects on the table.

“It reveals its secrets when you bring it to the table – you see the magic of this lamp when it combines with food.” Davide Oldani

A body made from white milk glass diffuses the light, creating a relaxed atmosphere, while the upper recess is home to a glass bowl designed to hold food for sharing. This can be combined or alternated with a taller bowl and wider one – almost a plate – at the top. The bowls – and the lamp itself – are made from hand-worked glass, making them unique pieces whose texture, transparency and colour generate a special dialogue between light and food, blurring the boundaries between them. Maximum attention to detail has been shown in order to do justice to the object itself and the other elements with which it interacts. Light plays a key role in creating the perfect atmosphere, interacting with other elements on the table and promoting sharing and conviviality.

“It’s not the lamp, but the light itself which accommodates the food and enhances it through the interaction it creates.” Davide Oldani

Artemide’s portable technology guarantees long battery life and represents the perfect solution for spaces where flexibility is required, such as in restaurants.

“Simplicity is at the heart of my philosophy when it comes to setting a table. This lamp isn’t a decorative element. Instead, it reveals its multiple functions through use: it creates an atmosphere, supports and enhances food and can be combined with various types of containers.” Davide Oldani
