The uncanny design of AIM is essentially simple, industrial and puts the focus firmly on ergonomics above aesthetics. Several different individual lights hung using ‘extra-long’ cables shape this ingenious lighting fixture designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for Flos. This allows you to use the lights in any way, shape or form and gives you great flexibility when it is time to redecorate the living room or dining space.

The long cables of the AIM become an essential part of its visual and give the pendants their signature look. Whether you wish to create a ‘cloud of lights’ hanging in the entryway or wish to just light up the reading nook and the dining space next to it with ease, AIM gets it all done effortlessly.

Industrial and Inviting

On first look, the form and feel of Open Weave Pendants reminds us of iconic lighting fixtures designed by George Nelson. These seemingly cozy lamps have a touch of oriental magic as they were undoubtedly inspired by the silhouette and finish of paper lanterns. And the best part of it all is that they look as much at home in the living room or bedroom as they do in the balcony and on the porch!
