 Artemide
Tian Xia Meta Suspension
Carlotta de Bevilacqua 2008
Cable suspended cylindrical luminaire that offers direct halogen
and diffused color fluorescent lighting and indirect white halogen
lighting utilizing Artemide’s patented Metamorfosi technology.
- structure in polished aluminum with mirror finish and
thermoplastic resin mirrored diffuser
- ceiling canopy in polished aluminum incorporates a
microprocessor and remote controlled, infrared receiver
- the three systems of illumination are direct, indirect,
and diffused, positioned inside the luminaire, 3 halogen
lamps each equipped with a dichroic colored lens (red,
green, and blue) provide direct color lighting on a surface,
the indirect illumination is achieved by a single halogen
lamp allowing for greater ceiling illumination, the diffused
lighting is achieved by colored fluorescent lamps housed
in the body of the cylindrical cavity of the luminaire,
the result is diffused color and light emitted from the
reflective surface of the body of the diffuser
- variations of light performance are controlled by a remote
control unit
- suspension cables in stainless steel
- mounting to standard electrical junction boxes
Metamorfosi Technology
"Metamorfosi" is a technological breakthrough,
providing ambient light in endless gradations of color atmospheres,
to follow or to create the mood and desire of the use in
the changing moments of life. An apparatus consisting of
parabolic projecting reflectors, dichroic filters in red,
green, and blue (Metamorfosi 3), and with halogen lamp sources,
controlled separately and simultaneously by a patented microprocessor,
from a distance, a remote control acts on a receiver sensor,
also enclosed in the luminaire and connected to the microprocessor
and can be selected on the remote control by pressing a single
button.
