Pendant lamp in spherical shape with extra long cable
String Light is a lamp of a different kind. The extra-long cable and the innovative concept of the pendant lamp with ball head by Flos enable architectural and novel lighting solutions for private and contract use.
Designer Michael Anastassiades says that he was inspired by three things for the Flos String Light :"When I'm on the train and traveling, I always see these power lines from the window that connect the power poles. And while we're at high speed I see these completely parallel lines and find myself under the spell of this incredible discipline - how is that possible? It's just so wonderful how they connect the electricity pylons and share the landscape at the same time. I wanted to transfer this vision into an inner environment .
I like how people use light to demarcate rooms, especially outdoors. Just think of a nighttime village square in the Mediterranean. The people there have fairy lights hanging square from four masts. It would be as if they were announcing: "This is where the party is going on." It is the lights that delimit this activity.
And the last reason, which is the most practical, is how to move lamps when the power connections are always where you least want them. So how can you and poetically put them where you want them? "
Flos String Light : Novel and flexible
Equipped with a 12 meter long cable, the Flos String Light pendant String Light can be used to draw geometric patterns in the room. Spaces take on new architectural dimensions. If necessary, the cables can be rearranged to create a new atmosphere in the room, patterns from clear linearity to abstract art are possible.
Last but not least, the innovative concept of the Flos String Light very practical: The luminaire can be hung independently of existing connections. If necessary, the impression of the lamp can be completely redesigned and the lamp used in a completely different way. The Flos String Light ball head is also impressive from a technical point of view: the diffuse light can be switched on and off and continuously dimmed using a touch sensor on the lamp head. The energy-saving LED illuminant generates warm white light at 2700 K for a pleasant ambience.
Excellent luminaire including auxiliary material for installation
Thanks to its extensive range of accessories, there are practically no limits to the combination of the String Light . A lot of examples and suggestions for different installations are also included, including blank sample rooms in which you can draw your personal configuration. The coaxial cable of the lamp made of die-cast aluminum is reinforced with Kevlar.
