Luce Liquida 2 Table Lamp by In-es.artdesign

Luce Liquida 2 by In-es.artdesign is a round, carafe-shaped vessel that holds its light like liquid, in white or one of five saturated colors. It is designed by Oçilunam and made to order in Ariccia, just outside Rome.

The Luna collection began in 2003, when In-es.artdesign perfected Nebulite: a resin-and-fiber composite laid up by hand so that every shade carries the uneven, softly glowing surface of the moon. No two pieces read exactly alike, and that is the point.

The Design Story

In-es.artdesign was founded in 2003 by the Italian artist and designer Oçilunam to bring art and design together in light. The studio works with craft-inspired techniques, balancing light and shadow with pure color and contrasting textures, and makes every piece in Italy under strict quality control. The Luce Liquida 2 belongs to the Luna collection.

Why You'll Love It

On a sideboard, a desk or a bedside table, the Luce Liquida 2 gives a warm, diffused glow that flatters faces and objects alike.

The surface is never flat or plastic-looking: the hand-laid fibers in the Nebulite give the glow depth and movement, so the Luce Liquida 2 looks different at dusk, at night and in daylight.

Choose from 6 options in the nebulite color menu above; each tile shows the color combination. Screens show color a little differently than real life, and the hand-finished surface varies slightly from piece to piece.

Made for Real Life

We supply the Luce Liquida 2 with a UL-listed cable for US installation; the bulb is sold separately so you can choose your own color temperature.

Questions We Hear Most

What is the Luce Liquida 2 made of?

The Luce Liquida 2 is made of nebulite (hand-finished fiberglass), polycarbonate. Nebulite is In-es.artdesign's own resin-and-fiber composite, finished by hand in Italy, which is why each shade has its own slightly irregular texture.

Does every Luce Liquida 2 look exactly the same?

No. Nebulite is laid up by hand, so each Luce Liquida 2 has its own grain and slight variations in the surface. That irregularity is what gives it the look of the moon.

Will the Luce Liquida 2 work with US wiring?

Yes. We order every Luce Liquida 2 with a UL-listed cable for US installation. The bulb is not included; use the type shown in the specifications.

What do the add-ons on the Luce Liquida 2 do?

The LED dimmer is fitted by In-es.artdesign so you can lower the light when you use a dimmable LED bulb.

How long does the Luce Liquida 2 take to arrive?

Each Luce Liquida 2 is made to order in Italy and ships in 2 to 4 weeks. Because it is made for you, it is a final sale, so take a moment to check size and finish before you order; we are happy to help.

Can In-es.artdesign make the Luce Liquida 2 in another color?
