FL/Y Hanging Light by Kartell

“FL/Y Hanging Light by Kartell. Evoking the light, airy impression of a colorful soap bubble, the FL/Y Suspension Light from Kartell creates a positive ambiance. 9 transparent and 2 matte colors offer delicate chromatic variations to display alone, clustered or aligned in a room. Made in transparent methacrylate in all the colours of the rainbow, the cover is not perfectly hemispherical, but the cut-off is underneath the height of the diameter to collect the most light. What’s more, the special transparency of the material and the sheen of the colours bring to mind a soap bubble, iridescent with reflections of light. FL/Y hanging lights are packaged singly, but also come in compositions that enhance their delicate chromatic variations.Kartell HistoryFounded by chemical engineer Giulio Castelli in 1949 in Binasco, Italy, the Kartell Company rose to prominence in the 1950s along with the growing international recognition of Italian design as a leading force following the Second World War. One of the original goals of the company was to replace the traditional glassware in science laboratories with plastic. Focused scientific analysis of the properties of plastic, combined with design creativity, gradually led to the production of stylish plastic goods for the home market.In 1972, Kartell participated in the Italy: The New Domestic Landscape exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Many leading Italian designers in the second half of the 20th century have designed for Kartell, including Gae Aulenti (the Jumbo table of 1965), Achille and Pier Castiglione (lighting), Joe Columbo (the ABS stacking chair no. 4860), and Richard Sapper, who collaborated with Marco Zanuso on a range of colorful polyethylene children’s chairs, which won a Compasso d’Oro in 1964.In the 1980s, Kartell began hiring more designers whose names were already widely known, including the great French designer Philippe Starck (who designed a number of products for the company, including the tubular steel and plastic Dr Glob chair of 1988)
