Meltdown, Cappellini

By

Meltdown was designed by Johan Lindstén and is composed of thin, colored, spherical-shaped, hand-blown glass suspended from a mount. Inspired by the 2011 nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan, the Meltdown fixture has an 11″ diameter and comes in six colors: dove, pink, tobacco, light blue, amethyst, and amber. The luminaire can be arranged linearly or in a cluster. • www.cappellini.it
