A sculptural modular suspension lamp, Luce Sferica by Ronan Bouroullec combines the poetic beauty of a handcrafted product with an industrial, functional spirit
Luce Sferica by Ronan Bouroullec for Flos is a luminous body that is light, delicate, ethereal, and quietly magical. It is an ode to the beauty of the simplest things in life. The lamp is composed of a highly technical horizontal body in polished extruded aluminium, which houses two LED strips: one emitting light upwards, the other downwards. At one end of the bar is an innovative touch dimmer that allows users to select upward or downward light emission – or both – and to dim each output independently.
The lamp body is encased in a series of light, transparent glass spheres of equal diameter (approximately 180 mm), crafted using the refined, centuries-old technique of glass blowing. The central spheres feature two through-holes, while the end spheres have only one opening, oriented toward the adjacent sphere. Their opposite side is closed by a flat surface that aligns with the end of the lighting module. The spheres are separated by traditional spacers, which accommodate the minor variations in diameter that naturally occur in artisanal glass production.
Luce Sferica is a modular lamp available in three lengths (S1, S2, and S3), ranging from approximately 1.5 to 2.5 metres. It emits a diffused light that is simultaneously efficient, delicate, and gentle, ideal for illuminating large tables in private homes and hospitality settings, as well as museum spaces and architectural interiors. When installed in multiple parallel rows, it creates a scenographic, almost magical effect. Luce Sferica integrates elegantly and harmoniously into the most diverse contexts with a delicate and refined presence that fully expresses the poetic sensibility and aesthetic research of the designer.

The same refined magic of Luce Sferica can be found in a complementary variant proposed by Ronan Bouroullec, called Luce Cilindrica. The technology behind the project is identical, but instead of spheres, here the lamp is composed of ethereal modules with a cylindrical geometry. Made of borosilicate glass, they offer maximum transparency, lightness and resistance at the same time.
