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

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the Artemide Ixa lamp?
The Ixa was designed by Foster + Partners, the London-based architecture and design studio founded by Norman Foster. Known for projects of extraordinary civic and structural ambition, the studio brought that same formal rigor to this lamp's kinetic silhouette.
What is the design concept behind the Ixa lamp?
The Ixa draws conceptual inspiration from Alexander Calder's mobiles, translating the idea of a balanced, moving structure into a functional lighting object. The spherical head rotates 360 degrees, allowing precise directional control while maintaining a sense of visual stillness.
What configurations is the Artemide Ixa available in?
The Ixa is offered as a table lamp, floor lamp, reading lamp, and wall lamp, allowing it to be integrated into a range of spatial contexts and lighting strategies.
How does Artemide approach sustainability in its products?
Artemide has built responsible production practices into its design process for decades, considering energy efficiency, material lifecycle, and manufacturing impact as core design criteria rather than afterthoughts.
Is the Ixa suitable for task lighting or ambient lighting?
The Ixa's 360-degree rotating head makes it well suited to task lighting, where directional precision matters. Its sculptural presence also allows it to function as a considered accent within a broader lighting composition.
