Special Fil de Fer
Fil de Fer There are objects which cross the time and in the time remain. Objects taken up in our mind, which immediately connect with the artist. This is what sends us the little, medium, big sphere of twisted wire with many little points of light inside, specially when this sphere is supported by a big iron or steel shape, which obliges you to look higher and higher, up to the light. This is the sense of Fil de Fer, which has been thought and realized by Enzo Catellani more than ten years ago. It has been technologically renewed, with high power and low consumption LEDs, according to the new standards, but I am sure that Fil de Fer will stay in our mind, forever. The flexibility of the material allows us to manufacture different models for special items, like the pending lamp "Nuvola", that is available in three sizes, or "Corrimano" , which follows the wall up to 240/200 cm. There are also two wall lamps: "Techa", available in a length of 120 cm or 240 cm, and "Cascata", whose light leaves a surprising and charming trail of light on the wall.

Serie Fuori Serie - Triennale Design Museum - Milan
The restaurant-cafeteria of the prestigious Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the largest art and design museum in the world, is illuminated by 4 special Fil de Fer lights with a diameter of 2 metres. The Café is located in the V&A's original refreshment rooms, the Morris, Gamble and Poynter Rooms. This Café was the first museum restaurant in the world. It is furnished the same style as the museum, which is characterised by modern design and quality craftsmanship.
Catellani & Smith is participating in "Serie Fuori Serie", an exhibition being held at the Triennale Design Museum in Milan, with a special Fil de Fer installation with a diameter of 200 cm. The exhibition illustrates the contemporary landscape of Italian design, tracing a path that from experimental research arrives at mass markets using both handcrafted materials and advanced technology, and seeking to promote a broader concept of design, seen as a tool for working on reality.
