FL/Y is a pendant lamp characterized by a minimalist design designed by Ferruccio Laviani, an Italian designer and architect known for his innovative approach and creative use of materials. He is famous for his collaborations with the Kartell brand, a leading company in the field of plastic furniture design.
Laviani has designed several design icons for Kartell, including the FL/Y lamp. This lamp is characterized by a simple yet impactful shape, which plays with light and the transparency of materials. The unique transparency of the material and the brilliance of its shades evoke the image of a soap bubble, with reflections that change with the light. Furthermore, the dome does not have a perfectly hemispherical shape; the cut plane is located below the height of the diameter, thus allowing for better diffusion of light.
His collaboration with Kartell has led to numerous design awards and accolades, making Laviani one of the most respected names in the industry. Ferruccio Laviani has played a key role in defining Kartell's modern aesthetic, contributing works that have become true classics of contemporary design.
