Frisbi Ceiling Lamp (the UFO)

Frisbi Ceiling Lamp — Achille Castiglioni for Flos, 1978

Look up and see a UFO hovering in your living room. That's the Frisbi — Achille Castiglioni's 1978 masterpiece for Flos, a disc of light so perfectly balanced it appears to float in mid-air, suspended by three near-invisible wires. Named after the flying disc toy, the Frisbi is one of the most playful and technically brilliant ceiling lamps ever designed.

What makes the Frisbi truly extraordinary is its triple lighting effect: direct light illuminates the space below, soft diffused light passes through the translucent plexiglass disc to eliminate glare, and reflected light bounces upward to bathe the ceiling in a warm ambient glow. Three light sources in one elegant object. Available in the Normal Edition and the exclusive Frisbi Milano Special Edition.
