Poetic, lightweight and immaculately white, Icarus reminds us of the human aspiration to flight: a link between us and the celestial light. Constructed from multiple layers of extruded polyester cut to resemble a bird’s wing, Icarus casts an unforgettable silhouette.

“Through experimentation with cutting paper to create a dimensional form for light, we discovered a structure with overlapping feather shapes that resembled a swan’s wing. We made the form asymmetrical to emphasize this and to make it very dynamic. As the light appears as a wing circling a light, the name Icarus seemed an appropriate reference.”
