Yanzi Floor Lamp

In a blend of tradition and innovation, the Yanzi Floor lamp, designed by Neri&Hu for Artemide Design, is a lightweight composition of balanced structures, with handblown glass spheres and brass elements that perch on aluminium branches. Inspired by the image of birds perching on scaffolding, the light source resembles a swallow with a brass body and glass head. Neri&Hu focused on the interaction of material, shape, and light in its design.

Founded in 2004 by partners Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu, Neri&Hu Design and Research Office is an inter-disciplinary architectural design practice based in Shanghai. The practice’s burgeoning global portfolio includes commissions ranging from master planning and architecture, to interior design, installation, furniture, product, branding and graphic works. Currently working on projects in many countries, Neri&Hu is composed of multi-cultural staff who speak over 30 different languages. The diversity of the team reinforces a core vision for the practice: to respond to a global worldview incorporating overlapping design disciplines for a new paradigm in architecture.
