CASTORE BY MICHELE DE LUCCHI & HUUB UBBENS
MICHELE DE LUCCHI HUUB UBBENS Born in Italy in 1961, Michele De Lucchi designed the Tolomeo in 1987. The lamp now available in sizes from mini to mega is arguably Artemide s most iconic fixture. Having a background in architecture and industrial design, De Lucchi also favors a craftsman-like approach and since 1990 through the line Produzione Privata, he has created a series of artisan-produced items such as small sculptures carved with a power saw. Born in The Netherlands in 1964, Huub Ubbens ran Artemide s design department from 1997-2004. Deeply interested in the culture and science of light, he believes light displays both rhythm and geographic influence. 2
AMBIANCE A family of infinite possibilities, Castore is acknowledged for creating tranquil home environments. Castore is best suited for warm lighting, providing a peaceful and cozy ambience, even through its translucent polycarbonate that allows for partial soft light to diffuse up the stem. 3 Watt 13 Hotel, Milan (Italy) Interior design : Chiara Caberlon Photo : Miro Zagnoli
VERSATILITY The option of playful configuration makes Castore an object of desire. The variation in placement and versatility in adaptation make it an interesting addition to any interior, whether residential, hospitality, or contract applications. 4 Watt 13 Hotel, Milan (Italy) Interior Design: Chiara Caberlon Photo: Miro Zagnoli
HANDBLOWN The spheres of glass are crafted with sophisticated glass hand blowing savoir-faire, supported by steel tubing covered in a tapered sleeve of translucent molded polycarbonate. 5 NHN Corporation HQ s, Bundang-gu (KOR) Project: NBBJ, Samoo, NHN SPX Team
UBIQUITY Castore is not restricted to the conventional wall mounting, ceiling or fixed pedestal format. Castore s ability to stand alone or be configured in various clustering patterns makes this fixture the ace of permutation and combination in lighting. 6 Sport centre & Municipal pool, Esporles (Spain) Architect: Alfonso Reina Photo: José Hevia
