Nh

Nh continues the study on the dynamic interaction of expertise, details, materials, form, and light that Neri&Hu are developing with Artemide.‎ nh1217 in the table version is designed as a simple, versatile, practical appliance that can be laid or suspended.‎ A white blown glass sphere slides along a brushed brass ring, which allows it to take different positions and to freely adjust and direct the diffuser.‎ The frame becomes a support, a hook to hang the appliance to the wall, or a handle promoting an interaction with light.‎ Starting from this first element Neri & Hu develop a series of structures to bring light into space.‎ After the wall version and the two suspensions with linear support elements presented in 2018, the family expands with more complex structures that accommodate spheres of different sizes.‎ The glass sphere with hook is declined in three diameters (14, 22.‎35 cm).‎ The new structures draw curved geometries and create a graphic balance of elements on which the luminous spheres are free to move and bring the light to different positions.‎ The selected materials represent a perfect combination of tradition and innovation, as well as the expression of responsible and sustainable design, also conveyed by the use of a lowconsumption retrofit LED source.‎ Like all the projects designed by Neri&Hu, nh offers a reinterpretation of the Oriental culture and tradition with a constant contemporary approach.‎ nh is operated intuitively as a reference to the use of lanterns, and allows freedom in creating countless lightscapes.‎ It is an essential, versatile element, suited to illuminate a variety of contexts in a simple and poetic manner.‎ With surprising lightness and elementary movements nh creates a landscape of elements generating – either individually or combined with each other – a non-static balanced composition characterized by elegant colour and material matching.‎ Bulb not included
