Skygarden 1
Made by Flos
Designed by Marcel Wanders
Marcel Wanders conceived the Skygarden as a meditation on contrast. The outer form reads as a clean, commanding hemisphere. The interior world it conceals is anything but minimal.
A hand-finished plaster diffuser, cast in delicate botanical relief, transforms the ceiling plane into a private garden, visible only to those seated beneath it. The gesture is characteristically Wanders: equal parts wit and reverence.
Where much of twentieth-century lighting design pursued reduction, the Skygarden reaches backward, toward the ornamental ceilings of baroque interiors, and makes that reference feel entirely present-tense. It is a lamp that rewards proximity, offering one face to the room and another, far more intimate one, to the people gathered under it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the diameter of the Flos Skygarden 1?
The Skygarden 1 is the largest pendant in the Skygarden family, with an outer diameter of approximately 135 cm (roughly 53 inches). Its scale is intended for rooms with generous ceiling heights and open proportions.
What kind of light does the Skygarden emit?
The Skygarden produces a soft, diffused ambient light. The plaster interior reflects and distributes illumination upward and outward, creating a warm, atmospheric glow rather than direct task lighting.
Who designed the Flos Skygarden and what was the inspiration?
Marcel Wanders designed the Skygarden for Flos. The concept draws on the ornamental plasterwork of baroque and classical interiors, inverting the idea of a decorative ceiling by placing the relief work inside the pendant itself.
Is the Skygarden suitable for commercial and hospitality spaces?
Yes. The Skygarden 1 is widely specified for hotels, restaurants, and cultural institutions where ceiling height and spatial volume can accommodate its scale. Its dual character, bold from below, intimate from beneath, reads well in both residential and contract environments.
What finishes are available for the Skygarden exterior?
The outer shell is available in several finishes, including white, black, and gold, allowing the pendant to register as either a subtle or a statement element depending on the surrounding palette.
