SKYGARDEN 1

by Marcel Wanders, 2007

Pendant lamp producing diffuse light.

Imagine a stunning display blooming above you: Created by Marcel Wanders, the Skygarden S1 is just that. A gracefully hanging hemisphere, the pendant lamp makes a powerful impression with its sheer size. However, it is the inner diffuser in white painted cast plaster that steals the show. Standing beneath it, you will see the intricate design that gives this piece its name.

The Skygarden’s plaster diffuser support is die-cast aluminum alloy. Its upper cable gland and blocking ring nut come in black injection-molded PC (polycarbonate). Shaped adjustment screws are included.

Inspiration behind the design: A house Marcel Wanders once lived in, which featured an old and ornate plaster ceiling that he dubbed his “Skygarden,” inspired this artistic piece. Wishing that he could take this “garden on the ceiling” with him when he moved, Wanders created this pendant lamp so that he could do just that—and then share it with the world.
