Made by Hand - Flying 78

FLYING is a family of sculptural pendant lamps with a soft organic shape. When suspended, they appear to float beautifully in the air. FLYING lamps are designed, made and distributed with sustainability in mind. The lampshade is created via a 3D knitting process directly from yarn to the final product, so no material is wasted. The LED light source is built into the top of the lamp so the light is softly diffused through the knitted bottom part of the lamp. FLYING lamps are also flat-packed in cardboard, making them compact and therefore more sustainable in terms of transport and distribution.

Boris Berlin, one of the most accomplished designers working in Copenhagen. His works have earned many design awards and are exhibited in various museums, such as the Design Museum Denmark, Die Neue Sammlung in Munich, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, V&A in London, and more. He believes that design is a way of telling stories that reveal the core of objects: “I think the best design is one you recognize, though you have never seen it before”.

The Flying and Knit-Wit Lamp Collections, crafted with innovative 3D knitting techniques and sustainable design principles, offer both sculptural beauty and functional illumination. To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your knitted lamps, we recommend following these care and maintenance guidelines:

Cleaning:
- Regularly dust the lampshades with a soft, dry cloth or a handheld vacuum with a brush attachment to remove surface dust and debris. Be gentle to avoid pulling or stretching the knitted fabric.
- For deeper cleaning, spot clean any stains or spills immediately using a damp cloth or sponge moistened with mild detergent and water. Blot the affected area gently, taking care not to rub or scrub vigorously, as this may damage the knitted texture.

Avoiding damage:
- Handle the lamps with care when moving or adjusting to prevent snagging or stretching of the knitted fabric. Avoid pulling or tugging on the yarn excessively, as it may distort the shape of the lampshade.
- Keep the lamps away from direct heat sources, such as fireplaces or radiators, as excessive heat can cause damage to the knitted material or affect the integrity of the flame-retardant polyester.
