Italian architect and designer Carlotta de Bevilacqua is the vice-president and general manager of Italian lighting designer and manufacturer Artemide and is recognised for spearheading the use of new lighting technology in consumer products. Yang Metamorfosi is the evolution of de Bevilacqua and Artemide’s research into the psychological and emotional impact of coloured light on human beings. Compact fluorescent globes are contained within a transparent, polycarbonate casing and emit coloured light through dichroic filters of red, blue and green. The lamp has ten different settings that mimic colours in the visible light spectrum for positive effect.
