Lighting in Design May/June 2017

Ameluna: A cooperation between Artemide and Mercedes-Benz Style has produced the fu- turistic pendant lamp Ameluna, an optoelectronic masterpiece with revolutionary potential. The light is characterised by leading-edge technology com- bined with dynamic design, and looks something like a mystical bioluminescent deep-sea creature. Ameluna demonstrates the full potential of the two companies who, in their respective disciplines, are among the leading innovators in the combination of functionality and form. Artemide and Mercedes- Benz Style are taking a new path with Ameluna: light is not only conceived as an intelligent design el- ement, but aesthetics and the task of the luminous object are brilliantly fused into a complete work of art. The dynamically convex luminous body, with a diameter of 750 mm and height of 150 mm, opens up into a crown of LEDs that gently surrounds the transparent volume. The possibility of transferring the individually defined lighting mood from the Mercedes-Benz E-Class to the apartment by means of an app on the smartphone combines aesthetics with intelligence and demonstrates a fine flair for cutting-edge technologies.
