Katà Métron by Mario Cucinella

Katà Métron - PATENT OF INVENTION

Katà Métron finds inspiration in the relationship that lies at the heart of art, architecture and philosophy: measurement.

“Katà Métron makes it possible to create lighting micro architectures that can be adapted to any space, shape and size. Together with Artemide, we have created an object capable of organising and redefining the space that surrounds us according to the most disparate needs”.

Katà Métron by Mario Cucinella

The Greek expression “katà métron” means “according to the right measure”. Modular lighting elements permit the creation of an infinite number of combinations and shapes, allowing the design of lighting scenarios that are tailored with respect to the spaces and to the needs of the activities that take place in them. Presented in 2021 with Refractive optical technology, it has evolved to combine different types of light emissions to define increasingly the “right measurement” of light in any type of setting.

Product description
The perfectly controlled emission of Refractive technology is combined with a diffused version, comfortable and high efficiency light, and various solutions with spotlights. The accent lights can have different dimensions and power ratings, colour temperatures and beam angles to design light precisely according to requirements. The adjustable spotlights can be fixed directly onto the main body or pendant with a stem ending with an articulated joint to allow various directions.
Katà Métron thus defines the “right measurement” not only with respect to the spatial layouts but also allowing the dynamism of the setting and activities thanks to the management via Artemide App. The system becomes even more an expression of a sustainable intelligence, attentive to a positive energy balance. The project culture and the shared commitments towards sustainability lead to an innovative and surprising solution.
