Hoshigame table lamp designed by Issey Miyake for Artemide

“hoshigame” table lamp designed by issey miyake for artemide, if product design award 2013. The art of lighting has a conceptual and technological heritage at the miyake design studio, dating back to 2010, when issey miyake and his research and development team called reality lab., presented '132 5. Issey miyake'. The innovative meaning of the '132 5. Issey miyake' project lies in its numbers; 1 refers to the one-piece fabric used for each product; 2 comes from the 2d initial folding process; 3 refers to 3d; 5, preceded by an empty space, refers to the metamorphosis turning folded shapes into clothing or objects. Five also is an auspicious number, and represents the desire for the clothing or objects to continue to assume new dimensions in the future. “hoshigame” was created using 2 or 3d mathematic principals, where light and shade harmoniously alternate. Miyake's unique folding technology creates both statuesque forms as well as sufficient solidity. The structure of the recycled material, together with an additional surface treatment allows the shade to perfectly keep its shape without the need for internal frame, and to be re-shaped when needed. It can be easily stored flat when not in use. The fabric derived from entirely recycled materials, it is a re-treated fibre made using pet bottles. The bottles are processed using an innovative technology that reduces both energy consumption and co2 emissions up to 40% when compared to the production of new materials. Very good condition.
