Artemide Castore Calice Suspension

About the Designer
Michele de Lucchi

After the criticisms and the confirmations, the exaltation of design, and the conclusion of Memphis, Michele De Lucchi founded Produzione Privata, taking up the urge for change that was in the air at the turn of the '90s. Aware of the gap that had been created between design and production, he set out to rediscover the role of the architect as an intellectual who conceives and fulfills his projects with a more responsible approach to the quality and beauty of things. What had started as a small-scale craft-oriented production of experimental projects traced by his pencil very soon proved to be an opportunity to make objects using technologies on the margins of industrial production, but treated within the logic of series.

The Castore is composed of steel tubing that is covered by a tapered sleeve in white translucent polycarbonate, allowing for partial soft diffusion of light from the diffuser. The Castore's diffuser is constructed of white handblown glass that has an external etched finish.
