neri & hu sits birds on yanzi lamp collection for artemide

salone del mobile 2017: for this year’s euroluce at milan design week, neri & hu have translated artemide’s guiding philosophy of ‘the human light’ into a collection of luminaries. comprised of a pendant, floor and table lamp, ‘yanzi’ takes the image of birds resting on scaffolding and transform it into a precise and minimal aesthetic. made of a black structure with brushed brass, the set is the ideal addition for any type of home.

when setting the concept behind the design, neri & hu wanted to imprint into their lamps the delightful scenes of street life that they encounter daily in shanghai. featuring two types of birds, the lamp collection for artemide has an adjustable track system, as well as various extensions, resulting in endless possibilities to configure the light. with its elegant lines and minimal shapes, ‘yanzi’ pays homage to both the urban and the natural, the rigid and the organic, while injecting a sense of playfulness into the design.
