Ixa
Made by Artemide
Foster + Partners conceived the Ixa as an exercise in controlled movement. The lamp's spherical head rotates a full 360 degrees, directing light with the same precision the studio brings to its architectural work, where the relationship between form and function is never incidental.
The reference point is Alexander Calder, whose mobiles demonstrated that a structure in motion could hold perfect equilibrium. Ixa carries that idea into the domestic interior: a composed silhouette that shifts without losing its sense of intention.
- Full 360-degree adjustable spherical head for directional flexibility

Artemide, founded in Milan in 1960, has long positioned light as a cultural object. Its collaborations with architects of Foster + Partners' caliber reflect a shared belief that a lamp is not a fixture but a presence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the Artemide Ixa lamp?
The Ixa was designed by Foster + Partners, the London-based architecture and design practice founded by Norman Foster. The studio is known for bringing structural precision and spatial intelligence to every scale of design, from airports to objects.
What inspired the form of the Ixa lamp?
The Ixa draws from the kinetic sculptures of Alexander Calder, particularly his mobiles, which achieve dynamic balance through carefully considered form. The lamp's spherical, adjustable head reflects that same principle of equilibrium in motion.
How adjustable is the Ixa lamp's head?
The Ixa's spherical head rotates a full 360 degrees, allowing precise directional control of the light source. This makes it well suited to task lighting, reading, or accent applications.
Is the Artemide Ixa available in multiple configurations?
Yes. The Ixa collection includes table, floor, reading, and wall lamp versions, sharing the same design language across formats so they can be used individually or as a coordinated family within a space.
What is Artemide's approach to sustainable design?
Artemide integrates environmental responsibility into its product development process, focusing on energy-efficient light sources, durable materials, and longevity of design as core criteria rather than afterthoughts.
