nebula wall/ceiling light

"Generated from advanced parametric scripting the vortices act as light capturing forms, emitting a glowing light phenomena from a ring of LEDs located in its circumference. Intended for mounting in either singular or multiple clusters across walls or ceilings." -Ross Lovegrove

Nebula is a new light typology for Artemide, embracing generative design for parameter controlled surfaces. A single aluminum sheet, via multiple processes is formed to not only embed LEDs and reflectors but also articulate in form of a functional - ornamental pattern to reflect and diffuse light. Surface implementations are raising towards the center to accentuate the organic forms as it captures the surrounding light. The project reflects their current interest and research in generative designs further into digital baroque. It can be mounted on the ceiling or the wall, alone or in clusters.

Ross Lovegrove studied design at Manchester Polytechnic and subsequently trained at the Royal College of Art in London. At frog design, he contributed to the design of the Sony Walkman and Apple computers. As an in-house designer for Knoll International in Paris, Lovegrove worked on the Alessandri office system. As a co-member of the Atelier de Nimes, along with Philippe Starck and Jean Nouvel, he acted as a design consultant to Luis Vuitton, Cacharel, Dupont and Hermés. In 1990, he created Studio X in London. Lovegrove is inspired by forms of the natural world, the possibilities of new manufacturing techniques and the ability to evoke an emotional response in users.

Nebula features a wall support in aluminum, diffuser in opaline methacrylate; end plates in polish chromed metal.
