Can Can by Marcel Wanders for Flos

Marcel Wanders has applied his whimsy once again to another family of lighting - Can Can for Flos. Using the same symmetrical circular pattern that tattoo'd Wanders fans' biceps (and likely a collection of other body parts...) at ICFF last year, Can Can is both a departure and an homage.

This is the well known (and loved) diffuser embellishment featured on Wanders' Skygarden pendant light:

And of course the beautiful embossed dinnerware for Alessi aptly named "Dressed":

For Can Can, this design makes up the core of the light diffuser in injection moulded PMMA (thermoplastic glass alternative).

Can Can is available in several different colour shades and diffuser combinations. Black or white exterior shade with your choice of transparent, amber, or violet diffuser. My personal fave (a shared preference with some of my grshop mates) is light and bright with a splash of colour: white exterior with violet insert.
