Ariette Wall and Ceiling Lamp
Made by Flos
Designed by Tobia Scarpa
Tobia Scarpa conceived the Ariette as something suspended between object and atmosphere. Its form, drawn from the image of a kite adrift, reads differently depending on the light it holds and the surface it meets. Wall or ceiling, it adapts without compromise.
The diffuser is a tautly stretched synthetic fabric, thin enough to glow from within yet structured enough to maintain its geometric silhouette. That balance, between softness and precision, is the lamp's defining character. The light it produces is even and enveloping rather than directional or dramatic.
- Synthetic fabric diffuser for soft, even light distribution
- Fiberglass-reinforced polyamide fitting (30% glass fiber content)
- Suitable for wall or ceiling installation
- Designed by Tobia Scarpa for Flos
The ceiling fitting is cast in fiberglass-reinforced polyamide, chosen for its precision and longevity. The hardware recedes entirely so the form can speak on its own terms.
Typically ships in 12-14 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Ariette be installed on both walls and ceilings?
Yes. The Ariette is engineered for both wall and ceiling mounting. The fiberglass-reinforced polyamide fitting accommodates either orientation without modification to the fixture itself.
What type of light does the Ariette diffuser produce?
The stretched synthetic fabric diffuser distributes light evenly across its surface, producing a soft, ambient glow rather than a directed beam. The effect is closer to illuminated sculpture than conventional task lighting.
Who is Tobia Scarpa and what is his relationship with Flos?
Tobia Scarpa is one of Italy's most significant postwar designers, son of architects Carlo and Tina Scarpa. His collaboration with Flos spans decades and includes several works that have entered the permanent collections of major design museums, with the Ariette among his most enduring contributions to the brand.
Is the Ariette lamp suitable for outdoor use?
The Ariette is designed for interior use only. Its fabric diffuser and fitting are not rated for exposure to moisture or direct weather conditions.
What bulb type does the Flos Ariette use?
Flos specifies compatible light sources for the Ariette in the product documentation. It is advisable to consult the official technical sheet or a lighting specialist to confirm the correct lamp type and wattage for your installation.
