A bold suspension with monumental geometry
The Nur 1618 by Artemide® makes a statement with its large-scale parabolic shape. Designed by Ernesto Gismondi, this monolithic suspension in anodized aluminum (available in anthracite or aluminum grey) is a refined fusion of lighting and architecture.
Dual light emission for balanced illumination
Nur 1618 delivers both direct light downward and a soft upward glow thanks to its internal reflector. The result is a layered, ambient lighting effect—perfect for large residential interiors, lobbies, or open living spaces.
LED-compatible with dimming capability
Designed for two R7s retrofit LED bulbs (up to 11W each, not included), this suspension supports dimmable configurations when equipped with compatible LED sources.
Striking proportions for spacious interiors
With a diameter of 90 cm and a height of 70 cm, Nur 1618 is meant for grand interiors. The suspension length can reach up to 260 cm to accommodate various ceiling heights.
An iconic creation by Ernesto Gismondi
A signature piece by the co-founder of Artemide®, Nur 1618 transforms light into a sculptural design element. Its powerful presence and elegant curves make it a timeless addition to contemporary decor.
