Designed in 1982 by Tobia Scarpa for Flos, the Celestia suspension, model 1130, is distinguished by its generous textile diffuser, whose form evokes a corolla or a floating cloud. A white linen fabric, edged with contrasting piping, is stretched over a structure composed of slender steel rods and elements in stamped and powder-coated aluminum. Secured with snap fasteners, the textile takes on a supple, architectural volume, while the light passing through its weave produces a soft, diffuse, and atmospheric glow.
Now out of production, it has become very rare.
Tobia Scarpa
Afra Scarpa and Tobia Scarpa occupy an essential place in the history of postwar Italian design. Trained as architects, they developed from the 1960s onward a body of work that combines design culture, technical mastery, and a profound understanding of materials. Rejecting any opposition between industrial production and artisanal craftsmanship, they created furniture, lighting, and objects in which constructive intelligence, precision of assembly, and the expressiveness of materials determine the form. Their creations, produced for the leading Italian manufacturers, helped define a new modernity, combining innovation, functionality, and durability. Awarded numerous distinctions, their work has exerted a lasting influence on several generations of designers and is now part of the permanent collections of the major international institutions dedicated to design and architecture.
