Neri & Hu for Artemide, 2017.
The nh collection grew from Neri&Hu’s ongoing collaboration with Artemide — a dialogue between a Shanghai-based architecture and design practice rooted in cross-cultural research, and a manufacturer committed to what it calls The Human Light. The nh table lamp distills the idea of a lamp to its simplest possible elements: a hand-blown glass sphere, a brushed brass ring, and the relationship between them. The sphere slides freely along the ring, allowing the diffuser to be angled at will; the ring serves simultaneously as a base when the lamp rests on a surface, and as a hook when it is hung from a wall or ceiling. The same object functions as a table lamp, a wall sconce, or a pendant with no hardware change required.
Neri&Hu describe the nh series as a reinterpretation of Oriental lantern culture in contemporary form — the lamp as a moveable, transferable light source rather than a fixed architectural element. The lamp ships with an LED light source included, in eco-friendly cardboard packaging.
