1. Introduction
The Faretto Suspension Light, designed by Nigel Coates and made by Slamp, combines geometric shapes with innovative materials to create a light fixture with a highly futuristic silhouette. Suspended by a single wire, the shade of this modern pendant light is made from polycarbonate and features a cone-like shade overlaid with circle cutouts. Housed within the shade is a singular light source, which when illuminated, provides direct lighting ideal for use above a dining room table or desk.
