Flexia

Overview

Flexia is a suspension luminaire designed by Mario Cucinella and part of the Design Collection and the Architectural Indoor range. It is inspired by papiroflexia, the art of papyrus-folding, and is reminiscent of origami.

Build

The acoustic panel controls reverberation by absorbing sound waves, and its sound-absorbent part uses recycled fibres: the external fabric comes 100% from PET bottles and the internal panel from waste materials. Artemide's patented Discovery technology gives a diffused emission that is even, comfortable and meets UGR standards for work spaces in any installation position.

Wings

The flexible wings have a rotation mechanism from 0 to 15° and 30°. Shape, materials and density are selected to work mainly on the frequencies of human speech.

Electrical data

Code CC10000 (Suspension, 3000K, Green): 65 W, 6475 lm, CCT 3000K, CRI 90, efficacy 99.61 lm/W, dimmable by push and APP or push/DALI.

Visible and invisible

"Flexia is a play on perceptions, between the visible which is material and colour, and the invisible which becomes light". It combines Artemide's technical lighting know-how with the experience in sustainable design of Mario Cucinella, and the Discovery technology comes from research by Ernesto Gismondi into the quality of the light of the transparent emitting surface.
