nh 22 Terra Floor Lamp

The nh 22 Terra Floor Lamp was designed by Neri & Hu for the brand Artemide. Formed by Lyndon Neri and Rosanna Hu, Neri & Hu is a Shanghai-based studio which works across areas as diverse as architecture, installation artworks, interior designs, and product design. But as creations like the nh 22 Terra Floor Lamp show, the pair's lighting products are among their finest creations.

This floor lamp which is named after the initials of the designers forms part of a wider collection created by the duo for Italian label Artemide. As with all entries in the series, it showcases minimalist aesthetics and sustainable concepts in a superb overall design. The nh 22 Terra Floor Lamp stands 172cm tall, making it relatively large - and the spine has been made from sturdy brass. At the peak of the spine, users will find a round blown-glass diffuser with an opalescent finish. This mutes the light generated by an E27 bulb, creating a low key and enjoyable ambience wherever the light is placed. Overall, the composition is slimmed down and simple, foregrounding the fine materials and resulting in a wonderfully practical floor lamp for all interior settings.
