Copernico 500: a breathtakingly beautiful pendant light fixture available from Stardust! The
futuristic ‘Copernico 500′ suspension lamp was designed by Carlotta de
Bevilacqua and Paolo Dell’Elce and created especially for Artemide.
This suspension lamp’s green footprint was carefully
considered throughout the design process. The nine concentric mobile
ellipses of the Artemide Copernico Lamp were created from one single
piece of aluminum. The nine shapes are capable of rotating independently
on two different axes, allowing for the light emission of the 384 white
LEDs to be placed randomly. From manufacturing to transportation to
usage, the designers worked to achieve the lowest possible energy
consumption while providing a high quality dazzling lighting design.
Because this lamp can be folded down to flat it reduces the weight and
size for transport to showrooms and customers. The use of LEDs rather
than fluorescents or other bulbs enables this design to only use a total
of 27 watts. A spellbinding chandelier with cosmic
inspiration: its name was inspired by Nicolás Copérnico (English
Nicolaus Copernicus), the famed Renaissance mathematician and astronomer
who formulated a heliocentric model which placed the Sun, rather than
the Earth, at the center of the universe. Copernico is part of the
innovative Artemide LED lighting product line, made by Artemide in
Italy. Part of the Copernico Series from Artemide. Artemide Copernico; now available from Stardust with Free Shipping and a Low Price Guarantee.
