The nine concentric mobile ellipses of the 'Copernico 500′ suspension lamp were created from one single piece of aluminum. The nine shapes are capable of rotating independently on two different axes, allowing for the light emission of the 384 white LEDs to be placed?randomly.

The 'Copernico 500′ suspension lamp was designed by Carlotta de Bevilacqua and Paolo Dell'Elce and created especially for Artemide. This suspension lamp's green footprint was carefully considered throughout the design process.

From manufacturing to transportation to usage, the designers worked to achieve the lowest possible energy consumption while providing a high quality dazzling lighting design. Because this lamp can be folded down to flat it reduces the weight and size for transport to?showrooms?and customers.

The use of LEDs rather than fluorescents?or other bulbs enables this design to only use a total of 38 watts. For more information take a peek at Artemide's data sheet.
