Empatia 16 Wall/Ceiling
Architonic ID: 1265282
The luminaire Empatia combines mouth-blown glass craftsmanship with innovative LED technology from the house of Artemide. The product family was created in collaboration with masters of Venetian glass art. Starting from the expressive potential and plasticity of the material, they have created an innovative balance between surface and light. Empatia fascinates with a clear yet emotional design language and an almost magical lighting effect. The technical secret of the luminaire is a high-performance LED that is thermally decoupled from the glass body for the benefit of light output. In the process, the light is guided through a transparent rod made of polycarbonate with maximum efficiency to the glass diffuser- to fill any room with sensuality and emotionality with a softly diffusing light.

Concept
Empatia is inspired by the association between the great glass-blowing tradition and the LED technology of Artemide. High interest in the expression potentials of this material resulted into co-operation with master glass blowers to gain full control of the special suppleness of Venetian glass and to work on the balance between surface and light, between subtle densities and transparencies. Hence clear, pure craft objects, each of them unique in all respects. Transparency and opacity are wisely dosed to obtain a glass that reflects light without glaring and without losing efficiency. Hence optical device, whose heart is a high-performance LED-based light engine created separately from the glass emission body in favor of higher thermal efficiency and performance. Light is controlled with maximum yield and driven towards the glass diffuser through a transparent pipe with a very low absorption coefficient.
