The Artemide Empatia Table Lamp is a table lamp designed by Carlotta de Bevilacqua and Paola di Arianello in 2013. In Artemide's words: “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".” Choose size and the light source on this page.
