In Japanese, 'IN-EI' means shadow, darkness or nuance. The IN-EI lighting collection is the result of a collaboration between Issey Miyake and Artemide. Each lamp is made using two- or three-dimensional mathematical principles, which allow light and shadows to be literally sculpted, to unique and stunning effect. Miyake's bending technology creates shapes that are both ethereal and architectural as well as being very strong. The material, combined with an additional surface treatment, ensures the perfect stability of these surprising luminous objects, without the need for an internal structure. They can easily be returned to their original shape by folding them flat, saving space when necessary. Each light fitting consists of a single piece of fabric, made from recycled materials, which diffuses a soft and atmospheric light into the living room.

In 1959, Ernesto Gismondi combined Engineering and Design and founded Artemide. His motto "The Human Light" represents humans and their well-being, and he centres his attention on both these things when designing lighting solutions. The Artemide brand rapidly became the leader in lighting design and manufacturing. As soon as it was set up, Artemide manufacturing was involved in international groups such as "Memphis" by Ettore Sotsass, a pioneer in the manufacture of contemporary lighting. Artemide entered into further collaborations and the successes mounted up. The brand represents the expertise and quality of Italian design, resulting in timeless creations that leave deep impressions and stand the test of time.
