Alambicco is a modular suspension fixture that captures the beauty of blown glass, playing with transparencies and textures to control and diffuse light. The centrally extruded aluminum structure that supports LED circuits on the four opposing faces is the technological core around which the various layers develop.
The first layer consists of a knurled glass cylinder, designed to refract the view of the technological components without completely hiding them, ensuring the LEDs are non-glaring. On this there are diffusers with rounded geometries, always transparent but enriched by a craftsmanship that draws inspiration from the ancient balloton technique.
The various components that make up its diffuser refract light, breaking down and transforming the image of the naked technological core into a reflection of geometries and colours. These reflections blend with the chromatic hues of the surrounding environment.

Alambicco combines the craftsmanship and uniqueness of glass with the modularity of the composition, allowing the creation of a family of solutions and opening the perspective to develope proposals tailored to specific projects.

Alambicco is designed in a horizontal version and as a vertical suspension light in two lengths to engage with spaces of varying sizes, illuminating both private and collective spaces.

The special processing of the glass, hand-crafted at the Artemide glass factory, ensures that each lamp is a unique piece. It represents a modern take on the traditional Venetian technique called “balloton”. Through a dual processing technique, small square-based pyramids are first impressed into the hot glass. In a subsequent phase, the piece is given its final shape. The hand-blown technique turns the volumes into a three-dimensional texture that comes alive with the interplay of light.

Each piece is unique, animated by reflections due to the varying thicknesses of the glass and the texture that follows the geometries of the diffusers, opening and closing the mesh of the design.
