About the Collection Artemide Copernico
The Copernico LED suspension by Artemide was designed by Carlotta de Bevilacqua and Paolo dell'Elce according to the model of planetary orbits. It is a modern chandelier of impressive size and with a fascinatingly variable shape.
Copernico was awarded with the Red Dot Design Award and praised at the Compasso d'Oro ADI in 2014.
The light fixture consists of several concentric ellipses, cut out of an anodized aluminium plate using the laser technique. They can revolve full range around two separate axes. The patented joints with copper contacts provide the electric supply. The ellipses are equipped with dimmable LEDs, providing direct or indirect illumination depending on their positions around the axis. If desired, Copernico can turn into a flat plate or become a complex and dynamic, geometric object.
Nicolaus Copernicus' heliocentric world view served as a source of inspiration for this unique design. For those who like natural sciences and amateur astronomers, Copernico is the ideal design statement, especially in large rooms under high ceilings where the light fixture can showcase its magic.
