SHERIDAN, WYOMING – Dec. 7, 2024 – As the days grow shorter and the nights grow longer, it's the perfect time to curl up with a good book. But to truly immerse yourself in those literary worlds, you need the right lighting. Artemide, renowned for its innovative and stylish designs, offers a collection of reading lights that not only illuminate your pages but also enhance your reading experience.
More Than Just Illumination
"A reading light is more than just a light source," states the Artemide press release. "Placed in the right location and arranged with your favorite piece of furniture to create a cozy ensemble, it creates a subdued, homely atmosphere."
A well-designed reading light directs your focus, minimizes distracting shadows, and prevents eye strain, especially during long reading sessions. Artemide offers a diverse range of options, from minimalist and understated to sculptural and expressive, to suit every taste and interior style.
Iconic Designs Reimagined for Reading
Tolomeo Basculante Lettura is an elegant variation of the iconic Tolomeo lamp designed by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina. While retaining the signature arm and spring system for effortless adjustability, the Basculante Lettura features a balanced diffuser that gently illuminates the surrounding area. Available with a beige-white parchment shade or a silver satin shade, this lamp provides a comfortable and eye-friendly reading experience.
For those who enjoy reading in bed, the Tolomeo Basculante Wall and the Tolomeo Wall offer perfect solutions. Mounted above the bedside table, their adjustable arms provide focused light exactly where you need it.
Reading Lights for the Modern Age
Demetra Reading Floor, designed by Naoto Fukasawa, embodies minimalist elegance. Its sleek, linear design seamlessly integrates into any interior, providing a harmonious balance between user, object, and environment. The built-in LED module generates a warm white light that promotes relaxation and well-being. An integrated motion sensor automatically adjusts the light intensity based on your proximity, adding a touch of technological sophistication to your reading experience.
For bedtime reading, the Demetra Wall and Demetra Faretto wall lamps offer stylish and functional solutions. Demetra Wall makes a bold statement with its distinctive design, while Demetra Faretto blends discreetly into the background with its minimalist aesthetic.
Interactive and Expressive Lighting
Inspired by the kinetic sculptures of Alexander Calder, the Ixa collection, created in collaboration with Foster & Partners, features a unique magnetic connection that allows the spherical lamp head to rotate 360 degrees. This innovative design enables effortless adjustment and precise light direction. The Ixa Reading Floor features a fixed right angle between the shaft and the lamp head, while the larger Ixa Floor balances rods with spherical counterweights for dynamic positioning and flexible light distribution. The Ixa Wall offers similar adjustability, ensuring optimal illumination for your reading materials.
Beyond the Traditional: Eye-Catching and Functional
While dedicated reading lights are ideal, other Artemide lamps can also enhance your reading nook. Empatia Table, designed by Carlotta de Bevilacqua and Paola di Arianello, combines Venetian glass artistry with innovative LED technology. This stunning table lamp features a delicate, hand-blown glass diffuser and a transparent polycarbonate rod that houses a high-performance LED, providing efficient and glare-free illumination for an enjoyable reading experience.
