Since the 1990s, Artemide has been exploring how changes in light, through colour temperatures and tonal variations, affect living beings and the natural world.
Dusk introduces a new concept, broadening the perception of natural light’s variability beyond simple colour temperature.
It captures the full spectrum of hues associated with different times of the day and year. Designed as a wall washer, Dusk brings the fluid, ever-changing quality of natural light into closed spaces. Its emission is not uniform but composed of overlapping and balanced light spectra, recreating the subtle tonal shifts of the sky as they transition vertically throughout the day.
Rather than a single variable light source, Dusk combines two distinct emissions to reflect the colours of natural light, evoking the effects and poetry of the sky across daily and seasonal cycles. A lens controls a variable blue-toned light in the upper section, while an asymmetrical lens washes the vertical surface with an emission ranging from 1800K to 4000K. The result is an immersive and dynamic experience.
A poetic approach to ambient lighting, Dusk is also highly functional, delivering excellent colour rendering when balanced correctly. It can illuminate a space or serve as a backdrop that marks the passage of time, subtly shaping the environment in ways that profoundly influence psychological and physical well-being.
