Flos Zeppelin Suspension Lamp
It is a traditional shape magically recreated in the mind of Marcel Wanders: A glance at the Zeppelin reveals its inner self—a traditional chandelier—within the stunning cocoon that has transformed it. Its internal steel structure is sprayed with a unique “cocoon” resin to create the diffuser, which is then protected by a transparent spray. The internal structure includes transparent PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate ) “candles.” A faceted crystal globe is located at the lower center of the piece for a whimsical sparkle effect.

Marcel Wanders
Netherlands, 1963
"I have great respect for people and the world, and I think that should be the basis of design" - Marcel Wanders
This Dutch-born designer, was born in Boxter in 1963, and has to his credit more than 1,700 designs. He has worked for prestigious brands such as Alessi, Puma, KLM and Swarovsky. Wanders maintains a philosophy of creating an environment of love, passion and making dreams come true. This optimism, which he has imbued into his life’s work, has made him an award-winning designer. The Museum of Arts and Design in New York awarded him a Visionary Award in recognition of his contribution to the field of design in 2009 and the Good Design Award in 2011.
Wanders also designs architectural projects, such as the Kameha Grand hotel in Bonn, the Mondrian South Beach hotel in Miami and the Villa Moda store in Bahrain. In addition to running his studio, Wanders is co-founder and artistic director of the successful design label, Moooi.
