Ludovica and Roberto Palomba wanted to express lightness of a different kind in their design for Foscarini’s Fly-Fly. The wings of this suspension lamp appear weightless as they hang from ultrathin cords. One 300-watt halogen bulb provides 360-degree illumination beneath the large polycarbonate diffuser, which is also available in orange. DDC Domus Design Collection, New York City. www.foscarini.com
