The Designers Inspiration Fil de Fer was originally created as a huge one-off feature light. People were so enchanted by the scattered light Fil de Fer cast in the space, that Catellani & Smith launched their commercially available sizes (including this original 40cm size) in their 2002 Collection.

Fabrication Aluminium wire of nickel finish inserted with tiny Eprel light diodes and woven into a sphere.
