Minimal and poetic like a pencil line drawn in the air, String Lights is an original suspension, both conceptually simple and bold at the same time. Anastassiades has always sought the primordial and original essence of forms and materials. His designs move towards abstraction, in a search for purity that pursues an exercise of stripping away, taking objects and materials back their original dimension of bareness.
"When I sit on a train travelling, I always see these strings of electricity out of the window. It’s so beautiful and poetic the way they connect the pylons but at the same time they divide the landscape. I wanted to translate this into interior architecture."
This is how Michael Anastassiades describes the principle that inspired the String Lights ceiling lamp: a thin electric wire complements the interior environment and can divide the space with infinite configurations. Stretching along the lines are two different heads, a cone and a sphere, that diffuse warm light from a LED source.
STRING LIGHT
The String Light cable is both power supply and essential design component, allowing you to place the luminaire wherever you fancy. Here are just a few of the ways you can configure your lamp, depending on your space and the look you're going for.
Mount the luminaire on a wall or ceiling with the Wallrose or use the Floor Switch connector to connect it to the socket. You decide.
Select from black, white or blue for the cone and sphere. These finishes are also available for compositional elements such as the fixing cables, Wallrose and Floor Switch.
The appliance can be dimmed by applying pressure to the cable just above your cone or sphere as pictured or by Bluetooth via the FLOS CONTROL app powered by CASAMBI, which can be downloaded to your phone.
