Flos Ray

The Ray suspension light is part of a series of lights designed by Rodolfo Dordoni for Flos. It is a curious but lovely juxtaposition of a sleek aluminium or glass drum shade hanging from a chrome plated twig like structure. The chrome twigs guide steel cables down from the white ceiling rose to the shade rim which itself houses a grey opaline glass diffuser which reduces glare. The light emitted by the diffuser is reflected off the white inner surface of the shade and provides bright, even, dimmable light. The drum itself comes in two colours, high gloss black or high gloss white and in a hand blown grey opalescent glass. This glass matches the inner diffuser so that the entire body of the light melds into a whole which gives off a generous amount of ambient illumination. The Ray is made in only one size but is beautifully proportioned and detailed so it works well in open spaces and over counters or tables, in singles or in a line, it is also available as a table and a floor light.
