Flying Flames
Moritz Waldemeyer / Ingo Maurer und Team, 2013

The elements can be freely positioned with magnets on the plate of the ceiling canopy. The canopy contains the power supply and is available in two sizes. With Flying Flames, individual candle chandeliers can be designed. The number and color of the Flames elements can be freely chosen. Up to ten Flames and three downlights can be used per canopy.

In the summer of 2014, 30 red “Flying Flames” elements were on display at Paleis Het Loo in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands. The former royal palace, no longer inhabited, was used for the first time to present an exhibition of contemporary design objects in combination with the original interior.

 

Nicole Uniquole, who developed the exhibition concept, selected the floating LED candles for the red bedroom. Instead of the standard canopy, she used a mirror.
