Artemide Criosfera Horizontal LED Table Lamp

The Artemide Criosfera Horizontal LED Table Lamp is a lighting object layered with meaning. Inspired by ice cores extracted from Earth’s polar ice sheets, the lamp is designed by Giulia Foscari to reflect on climate research and intergenerational responsibility. The horizontal configuration evokes the visual clarity and precision of scientific instrumentation, housing a cylindrical core of blown, recycled glass textured with irregularities. The inner optical module remains hidden from view, yet emits an efficient and evenly diffused warm white glow.

Its low-profile shape rests on a minimal laser-cut base and includes a built-in touch dimmer for simple light control. This version is ideal for sideboards, bookshelves or long console surfaces, where its horizontal form can accentuate space without obstruction. A piece of design activism as well as a functional light, Criosfera combines artisan craft with technical precision, casting soft illumination while highlighting the urgent beauty of our planet’s frozen archives.
