The Artemide Calipso Linear Ceiling Light is a ceiling light designed by Neil Poulton in 2017. In Artemide's words: “The unique honeycomb grill of Calipso was generated by feeding a photo of the moon into an image-based algorithm found on a seemingly extinct computer. The resulting fractal shape is an impure geometry that displays the irregular beauty of nature, built from an organic honeycomb of different diameter tubes, seemingly arranged in a random geometry.” Choose size and the light source on this page.

Our Lighting Advisor's Verdict
Our Lighting Advisor's Verdict
★ Lighting Advisor's Verdict✔ Integrated LED🇮🇹 Made in ItalyDesigned by Neil Poulton✓ cULus listedDimmable5-year Artemide warranty
The Calipso Linear Ceiling Light by Neil Poulton is one we recommend for high color rendering (90+ CRI) that keeps colors and skin tones true and smooth dimming.
Choose it for living rooms, bedrooms, offices and hospitality spaces.
Not ideal for bathrooms, showers, covered porches or outdoor spaces: it is rated IP20 for dry indoor locations.
Our pick: LED 43W · 3000K, for integrated LED, so there are no bulbs to buy and 3000K light, warm but clear. That version ships from Artemide in 2–4 weeks.
