Designed by Achille Castiglioni, The Flos Fucsia Pendant Light has a sleek refined exterior and elongated internal light source. The delicate, hand-blown conical glass diffusers, with sandblasted etched rims, compliment the white robust tubular steel centre; embodying the atmosphere of a beautifully lit suspended candle. Perfect for residential or commercial use, the Fucsia Pendant Light is available individually or can be displayed in a cluster; creating a striking showpiece that can hang proudly over a dining or conference table.
One of the most important industrial designers of the 20th century, Achille Castiglioni produced more than 150 products during his career and forged enduring relationships with Italian manufacturers such as Flos in lighting, Zanotta in furniture and Alessi in home products.
For all his honours and achievements, Castiglioni remained as curious, challenging and inventive as ever until his death in 2002. Superbly resolved as his work was in terms of its formal qualities, he never lost his wit or his delight in paradox.
In celebration of what would have been his 100th birthday, we take a closer look at Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni’s most iconic designs: the inimitable Flos Arco Lamp.
