Being presented during Euroluce during Salone del Mobile, ‘Aria’, the lamp designed by Zaha Hadid for SLAMP combines dramatic architectural features with the intrinsic weightlessness of the materials, creating a sculpture of light and technology that fascinates and enchants observers. 50 individual layers of cristalflex (a techno-polymer) work together to make ‘Aria’ seem as if is about to take flight, characterized by complex yet harmonic forms that embrace the light source in a veiled breath.

The large fixture is formed from a central structure capable of flooding the entire room with 360 degrees of ample illumination, thanks to six light sources and a spotlight directed downwards. The hanging sculpture combines the majesty of great architecture for day-to-day use – perfectly integrating large volumes with advanced lighting techniques and technology. Available in four different sizes, the piece is capable of adapting to any kind of interior environment: two smaller sizes, ideal for use at home and two larger versions for enhancing large-sized rooms.
