Ameluna:
A cooperation between Artemide
and Mercedes-Benz Style has produced the fu-
turistic pendant lamp Ameluna, an optoelectronic
masterpiece with revolutionary potential. The light
is characterised by leading-edge technology com-
bined with dynamic design, and looks something
like a mystical bioluminescent deep-sea creature.
Ameluna demonstrates the full potential of the two
companies who, in their respective disciplines, are
among the leading innovators in the combination
of functionality and form. Artemide and Mercedes-
Benz Style are taking a new path with Ameluna:
light is not only conceived as an intelligent design el-
ement, but aesthetics and the task of the luminous
object are brilliantly fused into a complete work of
art. The dynamically convex luminous body, with a
diameter of 750 mm and height of 150 mm, opens
up into a crown of LEDs that gently surrounds the
transparent volume. The possibility of transferring
the individually defined lighting mood from the
Mercedes-Benz E-Class to the apartment by means
of an app on the smartphone combines aesthetics
with intelligence and demonstrates a fine flair for
cutting-edge technologies.
