Embeè

A Voice Outside the Flock

Around the flock, the sheep, and especially the black sheep, an endless body of literature has developed over time. Aphorisms, metaphors, and interpretations of every kind have turned it into a symbol rich with meaning—so much so that mentioning them all would be impossible.

Among the many images this evocative universe offers, the one that best represents us and has inspired our design journey is the expression “a voice outside the flock.”

For us, the black sheep is not a symbol of difference to be excluded, but rather the emblem of those who choose to stand out with courage, questioning established patterns and following their own path, even when it means going against the current.

In a constant tension between freedom and belonging, and in open opposition to the conformity of the flock, the black sheep embodies a value we deeply identify with: the ability to transform diversity into an act of authenticity.

Because true richness lies precisely in difference.

A silent presence, soft in form and delicate in its light.

Embeè transforms space into a landscape suspended between dream and reality, where light does more than illuminate—it accompanies, furnishes, and reassures.

Designed by Karman’s long-standing designers, Edmondo Testaguzza and Matteo Ugolini, Embeè was conceived as an iconic object capable of blending storytelling and function.

The familiar shape of a sheep is reinterpreted through light, achieving a balance between irony, warmth, and contemporary design.

Available in two versions—suspension and table—it is crafted from resin and distinguished by a clean, minimal aesthetic.

The finishes, predominantly white with a black variant, enhance its formal purity, making it a discreet yet unmistakable presence.
