Flexia Mario Cucinella 2020 Mario Cucinella is the founder of Mario Cucinella Architects. With over 20 years of professional practice, MC-A has developed a great experience in architectural design, with particular attention to the issues of sustainability and the environmental impact of buildings. Its production has generated numerous recognized projects from product design, to buildings, to urban masterplans. In 2015 he established in Bologna S.O.S. - School of Sustainability, a postmaster program aimed at training new professionals in the field of sustainable design. The impact and...

“Flexia is a play on perceptions between the visible, which is material and colour, and the invisible which becomes light.” Mario Cucinella Artemide and Mario Cucinella share a common vision aimed at improving the quality of everyday life while respecting people and the environment. Accordingly, attention to detail is coupled with simple principles, while respect for the well-being of those who actually use spaces becomes a key characteristic determined largely by the quality of light. Flexia stems from the combination of the technical lighting knowhow of Artemide and the experience in...

Controlled light performance The Discovery patented technology applied in Flexia produces a diffused, uniform, comfortable emission that also respects UGR standards for use in workspaces in any installation position. It is a technical performance expressed through emotional perception and the magical quality of transparency. Artemide’s ability looks beyond traditional concepts and interprets technology in a way that is beneficial to our well-being. High-end and innovative technology Perfectly transparent extracting light surface UGR < 19 Optimal glare control in any different position...

Acoustic Quality The acoustic panel section controls reverberation, absorbing the sound waves reflected in the environment. Shape, materials and density are selected to work mainly on the frequencies of human speech. The result is beauty that derives from a parametric and functional intelligence.

Flexible wings

Flexia’s flexible wings are equipped with a rotation mechanism that goes from 0 to 30° and 60°. The many possible inclinations and positions can help in calibrating light and acoustic interaction with the environment

Sustainable Innovation Flexia has a reduced energy footprint, high efficiency and flexible control for environmental friendly use. The possibility of controlling the emission with Artemide App encourages users to adopt an increasingly conscious use of light. Flexia shows how the sustainability of a building can also be achieved starting from the elements that animate the spaces.

Intelligent Flexibility Flexia versatile design fits transversally into all contexts in which acoustic and visual well-being needs to be assured. The juxtaposition of multiple modules can create Flexia System configuration to shape environments based on the principles of perfectly balanced light and sound.

Spatial lighting The juxtaposition of multiple modules can shape environments based on the principles of perfectly balanced light and sound. Flexia System is designed for creating modular compositions that respond to the needs and layouts of spaces using standard modules. Three types of system expansion have been designed, allowing very different compositions to be created. Snake and compact extend along a linear axis. The compact model develops more evenly. The snake is freer, as connecting only the angle of the hypotenuse of flexia allows modules to move The wide mode creates large...
