IC Lights family by FLOS

A stem, and on top, or below, as if in a balancing act, a glass

sphere that projects outwards in a delicate equilibrium

at the end of a slanting baton. Apparently unstable,

the opalescent ball looks as though it might slip away

as if it were the apparatus to a juggler’s act in

which sphere and baton are magically balanced.

By Cypriot designer Michael Anastassiades.

"I came across an online video clip of a contact juggler.

He was spinning a set of spheres, moving them

around on his arms and edge of his fingers. And as I got

mesmerized by the magic of his skill, suddenly the spheres

look perfectly still. I wanted to capture that

exact moment. This was my starting point."

 

This collection explores balance. There is a series of lights:

table lights, wall lights, ceiling pendants, and ceiling

mounted lights which take as their basic form a sphere

that is perfectly balanced on the edge of a rod.
