Designed by renowned Italian architect and designer Franco Raggi, the Flute 3 pendant light is an icon of minimal elegance and technical precision, produced by Fontana Arte in 2004.
Each pendant features a borosilicate glass cone diffuser, offering complete transparency and visual lightness while revealing the technical beauty of its inner mechanics. The central reflector, in sandblasted aluminum with a greenish anodized finish, is suspended within the cone by three slender chrome-finished rods, creating a stunning floating effect.
The visible twisted fabric cable and chrome canopy add an industrial-modern contrast to the refined geometry of the glass body. The design allows for direct downward illumination while showcasing the bulb and internal structure as part of the aesthetic language.
These pendants are ideal for modern interiors—whether placed individually over nightstands or in a row above a kitchen island, dining table, or bar.
