The Flamingo is a deconstructed hanging light where the light source is separated from the shades. It’s made from different rings with various sizes and formats acting as reflectors, and an LED source that can be moved closer or farther away from the shades.
It is easily modifiable to create infinite lamp configurations and different shades of light depending on the space and its function. It can serve as indirect light, a reflected light, or even a filtered light. The LED lights can be moved along a vertical axis which is controlled by a string. By separating the source from the translucent diffusers, the lamp provides indirect ambient lighting for the living space, and by moving it towards the shades, it offers a more focused task light.
A collection of pendant lights that provides an ambient light through a thermoplastic translucent diffuser which performs like a spot light thanks to its LED light source. The Flamingo collection combines an impacting and poetic aesthetic with functional design and performance.

The lights can have different applications and can be used in various types of spaces. They can be placed in a large public space or a double story hall. They can also be used over a meeting table or a dining table. They can even be used as a featured piece at a corner of a living room or on the sides of a bed.
What makes this lamp special, is that the actual light source cannot be noticed easily. The illuminated round diffusers reflect the direct light from the LED source and create an elegant mix of reflections and shades that can light up the room in a rather unconventional way. This is how the name was selected. The lamp resembles the flamingo which is a long and delicate bird with an elegant appeal; characteristics that are celebrated in the Flamingo Light.
