Artemide reintroduces Alcinoo fifty years after its original design. Created alongside Patroclo, it shares the same artisanal technique of mouth-blown glass shaped within a metal framework.
In Alcinoo, the metal cage follows a regular pattern, forming a cylindrical volume that opens into a free-flowing glass sphere at the top.
The essence of the materials and the way they are crafted define the design. Each piece is handmade, shaped by the dialogue between glass and metal, balancing lightness and solidity.
The metal cage softens the view of the three internal light sources, filtering the light and casting delicate shadows across the surface. Like Patroclo, Alcinoo is brought to life through light.
