The IN-EI ISSEY MIYAKE lamp by Artemide represents an extraordinary fusion of design, innovation and sustainability. Born from the encounter between Artemide's experience in lighting and the innovative vision of Issey Miyake's Reality Lab, this collection is a brilliant example of how technology and creativity can interact to create a unique object.
The name IN-EI, which means 'shadow' or 'shade' in Japanese, encapsulates the central concept of these lamps, namely the art of light playing with shadows and three-dimensional folds of material. The collection includes several versions: pendant, table and floor lamps, all made of a special material using a folding technique inspired by '132 5. ISSEY MIYAKE', a geometric process developed by Jun Mitani. This innovative method of folding fabric makes it possible to obtain sculptural-plastic shapes that do not require rigid supports, while maintaining surprising solidity and stability.
The material used to make the lamps is recycled, combining sustainability and beauty, and has a transparency that exceeds that of paper, creating a fascinating play of light and shadow. The folds that characterise these lamps not only determine the unique design, but also offer superior luminous efficiency, diffusing a soft and pleasant light. Each IN-EI ISSEY MIYAKE lamp is a work of art that combines elegance and technology, offering an unparalleled visual experience.
In addition, the folding process of the material allows the lamp to be easily reshaped, enabling great versatility. When not in use, it can be folded and stored compactly, thus providing a practical and innovative solution for those who want a functional and attractive design. The lamps of the IN-EI ISSEY MIYAKE collection are ideal for modern and sophisticated environments, thanks to their unique aesthetics and the light they diffuse, capable of transforming any space with elegance and sophistication.
