Made in Germany
Designed by Maurer in 1980, the Floatation Suspension from Ingo Maurer is a suspension light made from Japanese paper shades and provides ambient illumination. Three handmade shades are suspended by thin metal cables and a red iron ring provides accent as well as acts as counterweight for height adjustment. The paper of Floatation is crinkled and this is an intended design attribute. The material can react to fluctuations in humidity and can change the rigidity of the shades.

Great fixture TERRIBLE SHIPPING
Rated 2 out of 5 stars
The product is wonderful - it replaces the exact same fixture after 23 years of service.
The shipping is another story: Package 1, the armature, arrived safely. Package two the three 48 inch paper shades was inadequately packed (that's an understatement) - The shades in thin plastic sheeting inside a single layer cardboard carton. [ I'll attach photos ] The UPS driver noted the damaged carton on delivery. the topmost shade is ripped but we've installed rather than the ordeal of exchange and re-installation. Truly shoddy presentation of a not-inexpensive product.

Impressive light
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
We purchased this light for a reception area. Although it takes 5 different light bulbs for one fixture (one of which is a flood light), it still manages to give mostly vertical light with a soft glow elsewhere. The best part of this light is the unusual shape and style. It is impressive. The paper shade is a bit wrinkled but we are sure it will smooth out in time. the hardest part was figuring out which light bulbs are needed. slightly pricey for a paper light fixture
