Luce Volante
Made by Ingo Maurer
Designed by Ingo Maurer
Ingo Maurer spent his career at the intersection of engineering and poetry, and Luce Volante distills that sensibility into a single gesture. The name translates as "flying light," and the form earns it: glass fiber and aluminum are shaped to evoke fabric suspended in motion, frozen at the moment before it settles.
The result is a pendant that reads differently from every angle. Overhead, it registers as pure silhouette. At eye level, the material reveals itself, catching and diffusing light with a softness that belies its structural precision. Maurer understood that the most compelling lighting is never purely functional and never purely decorative. It occupies the space between.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials is the Luce Volante made from?
The Luce Volante is constructed from glass fiber and aluminum. The combination gives the shade its characteristic lightness in appearance while maintaining the structural integrity needed to hold the organic, fabric-like form.
Who designed the Luce Volante pendant?
Luce Volante was designed by Ingo Maurer, the German-born designer widely regarded as one of the most inventive lighting designers of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. His work treated light as a medium in its own right, closer to art than to product design.
What spaces suit the Luce Volante best?
The pendant is well suited to dining tables, kitchen islands, and countertops where focused, ambient light is needed. Its sculptural quality also makes it appropriate for any interior where the fixture itself is intended to function as a focal point.
Is the Luce Volante still in production?
The Luce Volante is an established piece within the Ingo Maurer collection. Availability can vary, so consulting a design specialist is the most reliable way to confirm current production status and lead times.
How does Ingo Maurer approach light as a design medium?
Maurer consistently rejected the boundary between functional object and artwork. His designs frequently explored illusion, materiality, and cultural reference, using light sources and their housings as expressive tools rather than purely utilitarian ones.
