The Design Story
Available in all formats and 3 body sizes, Empatia is marriage of art and science. The hand-blown glass diffuser displays an ombré progression of opacity from transparent to frosted from base to top allowing efficient light diffusion without glare. The white-painted bottom plate within the diffuser reflects light created by the internal LED “pipe”. The die-cast aluminum base holds a touch dimmer.
