NOVELTY
Artemide: Wish You Were Here by Carolina Gismondi de Bevilacqua

'Wish You Were Here' is the first project that brings Discovery's patented optical principle to interact with a new dimension, no longer just two-dimensional. It folds the surface of the transparent plate to create a volume, a structure that is generated by the optical principle itself.

Discovery, designed by Ernesto Gismondi is the perfect synthesis of the values, knowledge, innovative research and know-how of Artemide. It is an optical patented principle able to interpretate a good light that interact with each space, life and ambiental rhythm.

'Wish You Were Here' brings these qualities to a the smaller dimension of the personal space.

Totally absent and dematerialized when turned off, it acquires volume when turned on thanks to the light which, injected into it, spreads from the pattern of micro-incisions designed to obtain perfect uniformity.

The injection of light starts from the upper limit so as not to dazzle, the calculation of the micro-incisions keeps the distribution of light constant without altering the luminous measurement of the emission along the fold and brings the light onto the surface in the most correct way.

It represents a scalable principle that can join the space evolving into different light solutions.
