Wirering

Flos, 2017

'WireRing'1 is a wall lamp designed by Formafantasma for the lighting company Flos2. 'WireRing' is composed of two separate elements: a custom made belt – like electric cable and a ring containing a Led strip.
№ 2.2.15.3 – WireRing.
№ 2.2.15.4 – WireRing.
The cable, which is often considered something to hide, is the focus allowing for the transmission of energy to the ring via electrical connectors. Disassembled, the lamp is reduced to a minimum. When mounted, it then reveals sculptural traits. 'WireRing' is an exercise in reduction: stripped – back to its most essential components, the lamp delivers the most with the least. 'WireRing' is available in different colours (pink, grey and white) and finishing for the ring (aluminium and brass).
