The Herman Miller Ardea is a task light inspired by nature that has minimal impact on the environment. Named after the great herons, Ardea displays similar versatility as birds' necks that flex for hunting. Ardea focuses on giving the user personal control over their lighting experience. Often with cluttered desks and a constricting shade, the user cannot light the area they need, but with Ardea's fabric-sheathed joints, the range of motion and light output expands. Ardea emphasizes low-energy consumption, green design and extreme motion possibilities.
