Design Within Reach, Boulder Studio will be contributing their product pick each month, starting with the Zeppelin S1 by Marcel Wanders, manufactured by Flos:

Designer Marcel Wanders says the role model for his Zeppelin S1 (2005) was Achille Castiglioni who designed his own cocoon lamps in 1960. Wanders’ mission statement includes the line “live with passion,” and one can see that this designer, who went big when the rest of the lighting industry was going small, is passionate about what he does. The Zeppelin S1 delivers soft diffused light from within an internal frame of powder coated steel. The structure is wrapped in spray-on resin that stretches over the shapes of chandelier arms and candles underneath.
