Characteristics of the Falkland Pendant Lamp by Artemide
The Falkland 165 Artemide DS2404CRC pendant lamp is an iconic work designed by Bruno Munari in 1964. A creation characterized by a white tubular elastic mesh diffuser supported by a natural aluminum structure. The design of this lamp stands out for its ability to form spontaneously, thanks to the tension of a filanca tube and the balance of some metal rings, resulting in a unique and innovative aesthetic.
Innovation in Design
The Falkland is made up of seven metal rings of various sizes, joined by a white filan tube, topped with a single bulb and an aluminum reflector that follows the natural curves of the fabric. This design not only represents innovation but also expresses the principles of simplicity, efficiency and maximum formal yield that Munari considered essential for a well-designed product.
Inspiration and Functionality
The inspiration for Falkland comes from heterogeneous objects such as fishing traps, women's stockings and oriental paper lamps. This unusual mix gives life to a decorative object that goes beyond its simple illuminating function. More than one meter and sixty meters tall, Falkland can be easily compacted, taking up minimal space during storage. The light, once turned on, spreads through the filanca tube, exploiting the weave of the fabric to generate a suffused and enveloping luminous effect.
