Scopas is a pendant lamp designed by Neil Poulton for lighting company Artemide. It uses repetition of a basic module to create an incomplete sphere, as though it were left hanging. Constantly changing, depending on where you view it from, it breaks radically with the simple, sometimes monotonous shapes usually associated with this type of light. Like the Empire's Death Star, immobile in space, its unfinished appearance belies its technological efficiency. This pendant lamp is both graphic and almost lunar, emitting a light that becomes hypnotic.

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.
