SKYGARDEN 1 pendant light

FLOS PENDANT LIGHT SKYGARDEN 1

The unique Skygarden pendant luminaire was awarded the Edida design prize in 2008. The luminaire creates an almost sacred atmosphere, as the hemispherical shape is reminiscent of a dome and the plaster decoration on the inside of the luminaire could be displayed in a church.
With its two-part design, the pendant luminaire combines a simple surface with a richly decorated interior.
The design was made possible by a complex and time-consuming manufacturing process.
Marcel Wanders found the inspiration for this pendant light in his former house. The white ceiling was decorated with floral ornaments and he called this ceiling his "Skygarden". It was his garden that needed no water, no sun and no care.
When he moved, he had the desire to take this blanket with him and created this fabulous lamp, a design he shares with us today. Skygarden is a hemispherical shade cast in plaster and painted white on the inside, the lamp gives off a diffused light.

The light source is not included.
