Flying Flames

Moritz Waldemeyer / Ingo Maurer und Team, 2013

Flying Flames is a new, flexible chandelier system. The magical LED candles, presented by Moritz Waldemeyer and Ingo Maurer in 2012, are combined with simple and functional Downlight Elements. Both elements are placed freely with a magnet on the canopy board. The canopy board comes in two sizes. Flying Flames is designed to permit individual versions of a chandelier. You decide on the number of Flames and their colour. Add one or two downlights for a pleasant light on a table below the chandelier. Choose between the rectangular for the smaller, square canopy, or place multiple canopy boards in a line to create a long chandelier. Place the elements as you choose, and adjust their height. Material: Circuit board, metal, anodised aluminium, plastic.
