1980 Iconic Design Heritage Merged with Sculptural DuPont Paper Artistry
Illuminate your living space with the Floating Pendant Light by Bowielight. Originally conceived by a renowned designer in 1980, this iconic lighting fixture features three handcrafted DuPont paper shades gracefully tiered and suspended by slender, high-tensile metal cables. A signature red iron ring serves dual purposes—acting as a vibrant architectural accent while functioning as an adjustable counterweight system for effortless suspension height tuning.
Dynamic Organic Material Texture in Two Expansive Architectural Diameters
The organic, crinkled texture of the handcrafted DuPont paper responds naturally to environmental humidity changes, evolving into a visually dynamic center statement. Offered in 75 cm and 100 cm diameters with a 45 cm shade height (∅ 29.5″ x H 17.7″ or ∅ 39.4″ x H 17.7″) and accompanied by a 150 cm (59″) suspension wire cable, it adapts effortlessly to dining halls, living rooms, and open-plan foyers. Built with universal E26 / E27 socket hardware operating on standard household AC power, it provides warm, cloud-like ambient illumination across minimalist, modern organic, and Japandi interiors.
Material Character & Unboxing Note: The crinkled appearance of the paper shades is a unique design feature, not a defect. The natural texture of DuPont paper responds naturally to ambient humidity. Should the shades appear compressed upon arrival, simply suspend the fixture; the material naturally relaxes and smooths out over a brief installation period.
