Formafantasma, a research-based design studio formed by the Amsterdam-based Italian duo, Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin have unveiled the WireLine Ceiling Light, designed for Flos.
Fusing together a careful mix of technology and emotions, industrial production and craftsmanship, all elegantly enhanced by their artistic flair, the design duo have crafted a unique design which involves a flattened rubber electrical cable (available in Forest green or pink) and a long thin LED, dimmable lighting body. Born from the success of the design studio’s previously collaboration with Flos (in which the celebrated WireRing was created) in 2017, the designers explain that the WireLine consists of “turning the power cable into a key element to generate the form, an aesthetic, iconic and performative aspect of the piece in a space”.
The design, flexible in its form, can be used as a statement lighting piece alone, or installed in multiple instances creating a truly unique composition.
