Designer Gino Sarfatti created the 2097 Pendant light back in 1958 and it serves as the main inspiration for Flos' new 2097 Chandelier. Originally, Sarfatti created the minimal lighting by modernizing the classic Murano glass material and the latest pendant gets another makeover. It comes in three size options -- either an 18, 30, or 50 bulb light.
It comes in a milky white matte finish to join the rest of the brand's roster of the same tone. Other recognizable details of the original design can be seen in the form of the central steel tube with radial arms that hold the bulbs in place. The main focus is the highlight the parts that are often tucked away including the cables and bulbs.
