Castore Floor Lamp
Made by Artemide
The Castore Floor Lamp is a collaboration between Michele De Lucchi and Huub Ubbens for Artemide, a pairing that brings together two distinct sensibilities in service of one quiet, authoritative form. The name references Castor, one of the twin stars of Gemini, and the lamp carries that celestial quality in its suspended luminous globe.
At its core is a hand-blown spherical glass diffuser, shaped with the slight variation that only glassblowing can produce. The sphere sits atop a tapering stem that itself emits light, dissolving the boundary between fixture and illumination. There is no hard edge where the light begins or ends, only a gradual, atmospheric transition from stem to globe to room.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the Artemide Castore lamp?
The Castore collection was designed by Michele De Lucchi and Huub Ubbens for Artemide. De Lucchi is one of Italy's most influential designers, known for his work across architecture, product design, and lighting, while Ubbens brought a complementary formal sensibility to the collaboration.
How is the Castore diffuser made?
The spherical diffuser is hand-blown glass, a process that introduces subtle organic variation between individual pieces. This craftsmanship is central to the lamp's character, giving each Castore a presence distinct from machine-produced fixtures.
Is the Castore Floor Lamp dimmable?
Yes, the Castore Floor Lamp offers adjustable brightness, allowing the intensity of both the globe and the luminous stem to be modulated for different atmospheric conditions within a space.
What sizes does the Castore Floor Lamp come in?
The Castore is available in multiple globe diameters, allowing specifiers and homeowners to select a scale appropriate to the proportion of the room. Larger diameters read as sculptural anchors; smaller ones function as refined accents.
How does the Castore Floor Lamp distribute light?
The Castore produces diffused, ambient light through both the hand-blown glass sphere and its tapering luminous stem. The result is a soft, omnidirectional glow rather than directed or task lighting, making it well suited to living areas and reception spaces.
