Issey Miyake for Artemide


Issey Miyake has collaborated with Italian lighting company Artemide to develop a series of experimental, eco-friendly lamps that employ a re-treated fabric derived from recycled plastic bottles.

Miyake developed the new material for the lamps using a 3D mathematical process — each lamp is created from a single piece of cloth that manages diffuse light in unexpected ways. The unique folding technology and an additional surface treatment makes for self-supporting pieces that keep their shape (and can be re-shaped) without the need for an internal frame.

Issey Miyake is exclusive to 4.
