Formafantasma’s SuperWire is born from the designers’ experimentation with the illuminating filament of LED bulbs, which they manipulated in its flexibility and aesthetic presence to create a collection of modular lamps that merge an industrial attitude with timeless design codes.
A timeless lamp for the future
The collection includes table, suspension, and floor models. Each lamp features a hexagonal base constructed from planar glass panels connected by polished aluminium elements and illuminated by a thin, flat, and flexible LED strip, custom-developed by Flos to measure up to one metre in length.
Hight technology and sustainability
SuperWire fits within the studio’s wider scope, which combines a poetic aesthetic with environmental commitment. The collection is a rare example of a lighting design with an LED light source that can be removed and replaced by the user.
Made of planar glass hexagons connected by polished aluminium elements, the entire surface of SuperWire lights up thanks to a custom-developed light source by the Flos R&D team. This LED strip can be easily removed for replacement and repair – a unique innovation in LED bulb-less lamp design.
Floor
The floor lamp consists of two 75 cm modules stacked vertically on a steel tripod, a nod to the iconic Luminator by the Castiglioni brothers.
Table
The table lamp is composed of a single 45 cm module topped with a hexagonal glass cover.
