Of an understated and essential elegance, the “Nastro” is a flat element drawn by hand; its surface is lightly grooved, thus concealing the light source. Tappeto Volante was conceived to create suspended luminous surfaces using the glass “Nastro” elements. The glass elements are fastened to a flexible metal structure, anchored to the ceiling by means of steel cables . There are infinite possibilities for varying the shape, curvature, and length. Tappeto Volante is available in versions with a rigid module, where the curvature is predefined, and with a flexible structure, in which the curvatures are adjustable.
