Skynest Pendant

skynest pendant
Design Marcel Wanders Studio, 2022
Recycled polyester weave, aluminum
Made by Flos
With what looks like a lampshade at first glance, Skynest has the typical pendant light shape with a central core. However, this unique lamp seamlessly combines both elegance and technical innovation by weaving filaments of light. Textile tubes integrated with LEDs – reminiscent of thread – are woven throughout the design of the lamp and form the shade's structure, creating a unique element of surprise.
The dome is a combination of luminous and dark elements arranged into a network and formed of core structures covered with a thin interwoven colorful tubular mesh made from recycled and recyclable fabric produced from polyester. Every single luminous element is powered by special micro-connectors located at the top of the dome and is covered with a two-tone mesh, while the side facing the inside of the dome is always white in order to allow for optimal light emission from the LED module. Skynest is fitted with a built-in balancing system at the top of the dome which helps adjust its balance, making it perfectly stable. The bottom of the dome is completed by an aluminum ring that keeps the domes entire network structure in place through a simple snap-fit system.
35.5" dia | 8.3" h | matching cord: 106.3" | 9 lbs | UL listed
light source: integrated LED (2700K | 1932 lumens | 90 CRI | 78W | IP20)
dimmable (please reference manufacturer's specifications)

Marcel Wanders
Marcel Wanders first drew international recognition for his Knotted Chair produced by the Dutch design brand Droog. The Knotted Chair has since been acquired by the permanent collection of the MoMA.
Design and innovation have been the two main pillars of Flos lighting since 1962. Taking care of the Planet and inhabitants through beautiful and sustainable lighting is a third new pillar.
