Product: 3M Architectural Markets Air

Larger in life than on screen, Air represents a recently introduced family of LED suspension lighting by 3M Architectural Markets. Made from aluminum and steel, the three-ring combination of the LED diffusers weighs less than 150 pounds—which may sound like a lot, but not when you consider that the rings are 3′, 5′, and 7′ in diameter. A custom 9′-diameter diffuser is also available. The dimmable fixture can produce white light as well as RGB colors, and can be hung as an individual ring or as a grouping of multiple rings. • 3m.com
