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.

quality hinge to provide precise illumination in any
direction. For more design freedom, Lily is available
with canopy mounting or a track system, and can be
specified in custom lengths and colors. The circular
luminaire is stocked in five standard colors (shown).
