Air Suspension Light

With Adam Tihany’s Air fixture for Contardi, two major creative forces have come together to envision lighting that positions good design as the solution to urgent environmental questions. Made of 100 percent recycled—and recyclable—acrylic materials, the double emission LED Air suspension light, which lights both upward and downward, features groups of intricate laser-cut perforations on its circular form, diffusing a warm, inviting glow wherever it’s placed. 

“Air as a design inspiration is as broad as it is elusive,” Tihany says. “Invisible, equally light and heavy, and absolutely essential for life on our planet. The pendant lets the air around it flow freely through its artful perforations. The glowing light sources, facing both up and down, create an effortless floating sensation."
