Lighting Collection Mercury in Artemide style
Mercury is a poetic lighting collection by Artemide, designed by Eric Solèr. Its name evokes the fluid, reflective quality of liquid mercury. The collection features hand-blown glass diffusers with a special metallized internal coating that creates a mirror-like effect. When the light is on, the glass glows warmly; when off, it appears as a sleek metallic orb or cylinder. The contrast between transparency and reflection gives Mercury a sculptural, almost magical presence.
The collection includes pendant lights, table lamps, floor lamps, and wall sconces. The glass is available in polished chrome, gold, copper, or anthracite finishes. Each piece is mouth-blown by master glass artisans in Murano, Italy, ensuring unique variations in the metallic patina. The light source is an integrated LED that casts a soft, indirect glow, partly through the metallized coating and partly through the clear glass edges. Mercury is perfect for adding a touch of glamour to dining rooms, entrance halls, boutiques, and luxury residences. It pairs beautifully with both classic and contemporary interiors.
