ProfessionalProduct description
Pair of blue and pink pendant lamps, designed by Ferruccio Laviani, a prestigious Italian architect and designer with an internationally recognized style. This is the FL/Y model, one of his hallmarks, an icon of the Kartell brand and of the artist. They are made of Altuglas, a very malleable material that allows for such complicated shapes without losing hardness. It is a combination of acrylic thermoplastic resins, which results in a flexible and lightweight material known as “acrylic glass”. It is the perfect combination of resistance and a perfect finish, with excellent optical clarity.
The particular transparency of the material and the brilliance of the colors are reminiscent of the flashes produced by a soap bubble with light reflections. Furthermore, the shade's shape is not perfectly hemispherical; instead, the intersection plane is slightly below the diameter's height, to collect the maximum amount of light. Ferruccio's unique and pioneering design makes this lamp an exclusive and modern product.

About Kartell
The Italian company Kartell is internationally recognized for having brought a material like Altuglas into the culture of interior furniture. It was founded by Giulio Castelli in 1949, a chemical engineer whose aspiration was to create objects from this material, and from the very first years, a fruitful collaboration with the great designer Gino Colombini began. From the outset, Kartell's goal was to “brighten the domestic landscape”.
