Artemide INTRODUCES

Ixa

Category: Lighting

Ixa by Foster + Partners

Ixa is a complete, transversal family whose composition begins with the intelligence of a spherical head with a 360° freedom of movement.

Ixa brings light to where it is needed, inviting us to physically interact with the object that makes us wittingly take control of our light space, and allowing us to calibrate it according to our needs. Flexibility and functionality, quality and dynamism of light, simple, soft lines, with a classic, simple look turn Ixa into a timeless project, which can be reinterpreted in countless situations for a long life, the basis of a sustainable project. The different elements can be combined to create lighting scenarios that are perfect for private and public spaces, for living and working. Ixa is a transversal system because it is open to interpretation and follows the changing needs of light in the various activities that smoothly follow one another throughout the day.

“Ixa has evolved through an intuitive design and making process. Slight variations in applied weight and movement have informed the lamp’s dynamic design. Ixa provides a flexible, highly personalised lighting experience.”

Product description
Ixa is a complete, transversal family whose composition begins with the intelligence of a spherical head with a 360° freedom of movement. This separates the electrical cable from the mechanism and is connected to the structure itself by a magnet that allows it to freely rotate, allowing its handy light to be projected in any direction.Ixa is the expression of functional, productive and sustainable intelligence through reduced and simplified choices, the result of a solid design know-how.Artemide and Foster+Partners share a profound approach to sustainable design that permeates product development at every stage and marks itself as an essential element of the project.
