Pipe suspension

Pipe Suspension is an Artemide pendant with a flexible steel structure that bends into the position you want, so the head of the lamp can be pointed where the light is needed. It was designed in 2002 by the architectural duo Herzog & de Meuron.

The head has an aluminium reflector with randomly placed holes of different sizes, so it looks as if it were studded with points of light. It is used above a coffee table, next to a wall, in the corner of a study or as a supplementary light in a space where a standard chandelier does not suit.

Technical: LED source 27 W, 2700 K (the PIPE LED S 2700K version), 1763 lumens; dimensions 210 × 1380 mm; IP20 for indoor use. The supporting stem is painted steel covered with anti-yellowing silicone, and the ceiling rose and diffuser are rubber-effect polycarbonate. In the LED version the internal reflector takes over the role of the former fluorescent tube, with lower consumption.

Pipe is a family: besides the pendant there are also a floor lamp and a wall-ceiling lamp.
