Itka Suspension Lamp by Artemide - A Synthesis between Design and Functionality
The Itka suspension lamp , created by Naoto Fukasawa between 2008 and 2010 for Artemide, stands out for its elegant simplicity and luminous efficacy. Conceived in satin etched opaline glass and a white painted metal structure with white PVC tubing covering, Itka establishes itself in the panorama of lighting design for its iconic shape and intelligent light management.
Technical Features and Innovative Design
The conception of Itka has as its fulcrum the work on subtraction , an element that reveals its design intelligence, capable of offering leading light performances. Despite the apparent flattened shape, Itka ensures a homogeneous light distribution which eliminates any shadow area on the irradiated surface. This result is the result of a careful arrangement of the light sources, designed to obtain the best balance between aesthetics, functionality and energy sustainability.
