Envisioned as an intuitive, playful creation, the lamp is composed of borosilicate glass tubes, reminiscent of the shape of the bic pen, that can be arranged in different ways to suggest open or closed flower blossoms or even more complex shapes. With the utmost attention to detail, cassina developed the fluxus-e with a single led module that illuminates both the central body of the lamp as well as the peripheral area, while tiny led spotlights positioned under each tube project the light through the glass to disseminate a warm glow. The lamp can easily be taken apart for cleaning and disassembled for recycling at the end of its life cycle. Materials glass, aluminium, pmma diffuser. The concept that inspired the fluxus-e design was originally imagined by paolo ulian for a show featuring the inventions of baron bich curated by ugo la pietra. The reference to the quintessential pen is immediately apparent in the articulated arms of the lamp, made at the time with transparent plastic tubes reminiscent of the famous invention. In 2001, ulian developed this project further for commercial use, maintaining its sculptural form through the use of transparent borosilicate glass tubes that could be bent to obtain different shapes. With the utmost attention to detail, cassina developed the fluxus-e with a single led module that illuminates both the central body of the lamp as well as the peripheral area, while tiny led spotlights positioned under each tube project the light through the glass to disseminate a warm glow. Facing outward, like the corolla of a lotus blossom, or toward the centre like an unopened flower bud, alternated to create more elaborate shapes or oriented in a more casual manner, like a sea anemone, each light-diffusing tube can be rotated with a simple movement, making the lamp one-of-a-kind. Composed of just two materials, glass for the tubes and aluminium for the base, the piece can be easily assembled and disassembled, both for delivery and cleaning, and separated at the end of its life cycle to facilitate recycling. This lamp is wired for europe, if used in us or any other country the client will need to convert it.
