Description
Overview
Mercury belongs to Artemide's Design Collection and was designed by Ross Lovegrove. Below an aluminium disc hangs a group of large pebbles that mirror one another and the disc. Their smooth surfaces pass the light between them, and the piece reflects daylight and the movement of people around it.
Construction
Reflective stainless steel makes up the frame, with aluminium for the lighting bodies, in polished chrome. The light is indirect. A ceiling light and a suspension light exist.
Specifications
1100 mm diameter. Rating: 58 W, 220-240 V; 3094 lm for the 3000 K version; colour rendering 90; IP20; push dimmer. Two LED sources of 23.62 W are included.
