Description
Overview
Zephyr is a minimalist and elegant chandelier by Carlo Colombo for Artemide. The Chandelier version is dimmable with Push or DALI control and has an IP20 rating.
Construction
Double cylindrical diffusers surround a central body that houses the light sources. Two rings turn on a common axis and set the orientation of the lighting bodies and of the connecting structural elements. The diffusers are transparent glass, hand-blown into a wave-shaped mould and ground at the peaks, which leaves a horizontal texture of alternating transparent and opaline bands.
Specifications
Diameter 1094 x Height 1855 mm. Power 175 W for 12537 lm at 2700 K with CRI 90; installation is by suspension.
Story
The traditional chandelier, reinterpreted
Zephyr offers a contemporary reading of the traditional chandelier. Glass craftsmanship meets a simple form and optical flair, so that glass-working technologies serve as functional tools to control and distribute light and are not only decorative elements.
Hand-blown, wave-moulded glass
The diffuser begins as transparent glass hand-blown into a wave-shaped mould, and grinding the peaks gives it a horizontal texture of transparent and opaline diffusion bands. The finish enriches the diffuser and produces a non-glare diffusion of light along the cylindrical body.
