Overlap
A new line of Flos pendants
by Michael Anastassiades
reimagines the cocoon­like
style of the company’s iconic
1960s luminaires by Tobia
Scarpa and Achille and Pier
Giacomo Castiglioni. Like the
original “cocoon­wrap” lumi­
naires, the new Overlap
pendant features the same
resin membrane invented
decades ago to package U.S.
Army shipments. This time,
the material wraps a steel
frame of two interlocking
rings, providing soft, dif­
fused illumination and a
nostalgic ambience.

W151 Extra Large Pendant

In a reaction to the shrinking

size of LEDs, architects Claesson

Koivisto Rune designed a super­

sized fixture. The W151 Extra

Large Pendant, from Swedish

lighting company Wästberg, is a

playfully unfussy cone­shaped

luminaire made of spun alumi­

num in three simple variations

—tall and narrow, low and wide,

and medium.

Chime

New York manufacturer Stickbulb is rolling out a

collection of chandeliers made of wood suspended

from a powder­coated steel ring. The company de­

buted the concept at this year’s NYCxDesign, where a

10'­high version built from reclaimed wood won Best

in Show. Now the cascading fixture is available in a

choice of three sizes (20", 28", and 36" diameter) and

five wood species in a variety of lengths of up to 12',

arranged individually, clustered, or nested.

luminaire is stocked in five standard colors (shown).
