A luminous sphere made up of irregular bands of opaque polycarbonate. Le Soleil Pendant Lamp by Foscarini has a special luminous effect with light projected upwards from the bands and central direct illumination. Available in 3 colors.
Introduced in Milan last year but now available for purchase in the US, Vicente Garcia Jimenez's Le Soliel is a pendant that lights below from above and above from below. The polycarbonate tiers shine directly down, but also ambient illumination towards the ceiling.
Though this delicate-looking pendant was inspired by Louis XIV's palatial decor, its postconsumer Tyvek shade is better suited for the current age of rough-and-ready upcycling.
The light wings of Fly-Fly, designed by Roberto and Ludovica Palomba, treat the eye to 360° illumination and a feeling of lightness. The transparent form projects the light in the environment and also acts as a screen to avoid glare, making the Fly-Fly fly flexible in terms of placement and hanging height. Made from polycarbonate in a choice of two colors.
Lighting designer Tom Dixon released this pendant lamp in 2006 at the Milan Furniture Fair. The shade is constructed of plastic polycarbonate and sheathed in a mirror-like copper finish.
