Planet is a large spherical pendant light which comes in two sizes and colours. Designed by ChangeDesign for Foscarini Planet is made from fabric. The load bearing integrity of the seam means the light is without an inner frame. As well as its structural properties the seam also acts as the decorative element which gives Planet its character.
The inspiration behind the design came from the 'smart system' devised for the clothing used by astronauts where external embroidery is stitched with a special yarn, allowing the suit to adhere to the body whilst retaining freedom of movement and flexibility, even in zero gravity! When sewn into the fabric the yarn is heated to a high temperature which stiffens it, giving it its supporting quality.
Planet comes in two sizes and colours and is available with fitting for either a fluorescent bulb or a halogen energy saver. In addition it comes with enough cable to provide an overall drop of 200cm maximum. A 16cm diameter ceiling rose is also provided.
