Mesmeri Wall Light by Artemide: When the Wall Becomes Light

With Mesmeri, French designer Eric Solé transforms the wall light into a true light sculpture. Its white aluminum body forms a supple, sinuous ribbon that folds back on itself to completely conceal the light source. Once turned on, the wall light takes on a new presence. The light is projected primarily upward, where it reflects off the wall, while part of the Flux spills downward. The fixture then seems to almost disappear, giving way to a soft, enveloping halo of light.

A continuous line designed around light

Mesmeri’s strength lies in the close relationship between its design and its light output. Its fluid geometry serves more than just an aesthetic purpose. It envelops and conceals the light source to prioritize indirect lighting, which is more comfortable for the eyes. The light thus reveals the fixture’s curve and extends its silhouette directly onto the wall. When turned off, Mesmeri resembles a small white Sculpture. When turned on, it transforms the wall into a true luminous surface.

Crafted from white aluminium, this wall light retains a particularly light silhouette despite its 22 cm depth. Its design has been recognized with several international awards, includingthe iF Product Design Award and the Red Dot Design Award – Product Design in 2006, followed by the Good Design Award from the Chicago Athenaeum in 2007.

Does the Mesmeri wall light provide direct or indirect lighting?

Mesmeri primarily emits indirect light. The light source is concealed by the curved shape of the body, which reflects the light upward while allowing some of it to pass downward. This design prevents the bulb from being directly visible and creates a softer glow, particularly well-suited for spaces where comfortable lighting is desired.

In which room should the Mesmeri wall light be installed?

Thanks to its indirect lighting, Mesmeri naturally fits into a living room, bedroom, entryway, or hallway. It can be used alone to create a decorative focal point or installed in a row along a wall to add rhythm to a larger space. In a living room, its halo complements the general lighting while highlighting the room’s architecture.

What bulb should you use with the Mesmeri wall light?

This version works with one R7S LED Bulb rated at up to 11 W. The bulb is not included and can be replaced. The choice of bulb therefore allows you to adjust the color temperature and light output to your preferences, within the recommended power limit.

What are the dimensions of the Mesmeri wall light?

Mesmeri measures 34 cm wide, 7.9 cm high, and 22 cm deep. Its wall base is 8.2 cm wide. These proportions allow it to maintain a sculptural presence without taking up a significant amount of space on the wall.

Why choose a wall light with indirect lighting?

An indirect-lighting wall light prevents the light source from being directly visible, thereby helping to reduce glare. The light is first reflected off the wall before diffusing into the room, creating a softer, more enveloping ambiance. With Mesmeri, this lighting effect is an integral part of the design and transforms the wall into an extension of the fixture.

Mesmeri does more than just light a room. Its Aluminium strip guides the light, outlines the wall, and creates a halo that alters the perception of space. A wall light that is discreet when turned off and spectacular the moment the light comes on.
