Falkland Artemide Suspension Lamp: A Design Masterpiece by Bruno Munari
The Falkland 85 suspension lamp by Artemide, designed in 1964 by Bruno Munari , is a true design icon. Its elegance marries perfectly with innovation thanks to its diffuser made of white tubular elastic mesh and its natural aluminum structure. Falkland's innovative design emerges from the tension of a filanca tube, balanced by the weight of metal rings, creating a spontaneous and aesthetically fascinating shape.
Unique Features of the Falkland Lamp
- Made up of seven metal rings of different diameters.
- Structure supported by a single white string tube.
- Equipped with a single bulb with aluminum reflector.
- Reflector that imitates the soft curves of the fabric, generating diffused and delicate lighting.
The Falkland , with its elegant presence, brilliantly exceeds the design principles listed by Munari, such as simplicity, efficiency, reduction of storage space and optimization of formal yield. It is visually inspired by diverse elements such as fishing traps, women's stockings and oriental paper lamps, combining functionality and aesthetics in a rather original way.
