The Unterlinden Pendant Lamp 175 ARTEMIDE is a refined and intellectual design piece, born from the collaboration with the prestigious Swiss studio Herzog & de Meuron. Its compact body in cast brass features a natural finish obtained through a controlled oxidation process, later sealed with a transparent protective layer. This treatment gives each unit a unique, aged, and elegant appearance.
Sculptural design with architectural soul
The design of Unterlinden blends artisanal tradition with precision technology. Its shape evokes an inverted bell with organic, textured lines, naturally fitting into sophisticated interiors, boutique restaurants, or museum spaces. The detail of the black fabric cable enhances its contemporary look, adding a touch of visual contrast.
High-performance professional optics
Despite its reduced scale, the Unterlinden incorporates a high-efficiency precision lens that concentrates the LED light with professional-grade quality. This optical system provides a focused beam, ideal for spot lighting over tables, counters, or display cases, without glare or light loss.
Living material and aesthetic evolution
The brass surface displays subtle variations due to the natural oxidation process, making each lamp a one-of-a-kind piece. Over time, the finish develops an even richer patina, adding character to the piece and blending beautifully with noble materials like wood, stone, or polished concrete.
Design by Herzog & de Meuron
The studio Herzog & de Meuron is known for integrating object design as part of the architectural language of their projects. In the case of Unterlinden, the lamp is part of a collection of lighting, furniture, and technical elements developed specifically for iconic spaces, providing visual and conceptual continuity between architecture and object.
