Description
Overview
Tetras is a modular fixture in Artemide's Design Collection, by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM). It conceives of light as an architectural building block and has a cross-shaped structure.
Layout
Tetras works as a single element or within a more complex system. It acts as a pure module that brings rhythm and order while leaving room for interpretation, and it suits both regular grids and free compositions. Its seemingly rigid geometry adapts dynamically, even across varying ceiling heights.
Light
The light is high-quality, comfortable and controlled. Emission is diffused or refractive, in 3000 K or 3500 K, and the fixture comes in 3 colours. Integration with the Artemide App enables dynamic lighting scenarios and personalized experiences.
