Castore Table Lamp

$380

Made by Artemide

The Castore emerged from a collaboration between Michele De Lucchi and Huub Ubbens for Artemide, a pairing that brought architectural precision into conversation with the organic warmth of hand-blown glass. Each spherical diffuser is shaped by breath and heat, carrying the subtle individuality of the glassblower's craft.

A tapering stem rises to meet the globe, and the proportion between them gives the lamp its particular stillness. Light does not simply emit from the Castore. It radiates outward, diffusing evenly through the translucent sphere to soften the atmosphere of any surface it occupies.

  • Hand-blown spherical glass diffuser
  • Tapering stem with integrated luminous quality
  • Designed by Michele De Lucchi and Huub Ubbens for Artemide
  • Available in multiple sizes

The form is elemental, a sphere and a line, yet the dialogue between those two gestures defines the lamp's enduring identity. Castore belongs to the canon of Italian lighting design not by ambition, but by the quiet authority of its resolved form.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the Artemide Castore lamp?

The Castore was designed by Michele De Lucchi and Huub Ubbens for Artemide. De Lucchi is one of Italy's most celebrated industrial designers, known for his work across furniture, architecture, and lighting, while Ubbens brought a complementary sensibility to the collaboration.

Is the Castore diffuser mouth-blown glass?

Yes. The Castore's spherical diffuser is hand-blown glass, meaning each piece carries the subtle variation inherent to the glassblower's craft. This process produces a soft, even diffusion of light across the globe's surface.

What sizes does the Castore Table Lamp come in?

The Castore is available in multiple sizes, allowing it to function as a compact desk presence or a more commanding table accent. Size selection affects the proportion of the stem-to-globe relationship, which is central to the lamp's character.

What kind of light quality does the Castore produce?

The hand-blown glass sphere diffuses light evenly in all directions, creating a warm, ambient glow rather than directed task lighting. The result is an atmospheric quality well suited to living spaces, hospitality environments, and curated interiors.

How does the Castore fit within Artemide's design philosophy?

Artemide has long positioned light as a medium for human well-being rather than pure function. The Castore reflects this philosophy through its resolved, elemental form, prioritizing the quality and character of emitted light over decorative complexity.
