Falkland Suspension by Artemide

Bruno Munari, Italian designer and author, designed the Falkland lights in 1964. The Artemide Falkland suspension is currently housed at the MoMA in New York. The lights were originally part of the Danese S.L.R. and are now included in Artemide's portfolio. The Falkland suspension lights are available in three sizes: Falkland (165), Falkland 85 and Falkland 53.

The unique shape of the Falklands is created from pure physics, the tension cause on the fine elastic fabric for a series of varying sized aluminium rings (7 in the Falkland, 4 in the Falkland 85 and 3 in the Falkland 53). A stretched tube is formed, and the woven fabric acts as diffuser emitting a soft light. An aluminium reflector at the top of the lamp further highlights the curves along the fabric.

The elastic fabric that covers the Falkland lights is fireproof adding another unique feature to these lights. A Falkland suits any interior, whether modern or more traditional. Their column-like design compliments the room, even when not in use. The collection also includes a Falkland Floor Lamp.
