To draw the Avion Pendant, Iskos-Berlin was absorbed in his old fascination with aircraft, especially for Zeppelins, these large oblong airships that marked his childhood fantasy by associating wind and lightness.
Despite its large size, Avion is a discrete and delicate pendant. Made of polypropylene, it emits a soft and multi-directional light, cozy and comfortable. The Avion Pendant can be suspended isolated in a house, but also in groups in a hotel lobby, in a restaurant or in a large room by creating irregular shapes or alignments to structure space.
To facilitate the installation of the Avion Pendant on the ceiling, there is an adjustable canopy which can easily rotate around the vertical axis and be fixed in the desired position. The canopy, whose rounded shape reflects that of the lampshade, allows unlimited changes in the direction and inclination of the pendant.
The Avion is now available as a table lamp in both indoor and outdoor versions, in the year that designer Boris Berlin celebrates his 70th birthday. Ideal for soft lighting in the evening outdoors, on the ground or on furniture, the Avion lamp lights up evenings with a cosy atmosphere.

Iskos-Berlin
Iskos-Berlin is a Copenhagen-based design duo that has been making waves in furniture, industrial and graphic design. The studio, formerly known as Komplot Design, has collaborated with some of the world's most prestigious manufacturers and their furniture, lighting and other design products are exhibited in numerous design museums around the world, including MoMA and the Danish Design Museum.
On their philosophy: ‘We see design as the art of storytelling. This story is normally quite complex, made up of semantics, orphology, materiality, object technology and many other elements. But the clearer your story, the more likely people are to understand it. The more surprising your story, the more likely it is to be remembered. And finally, the more you make people smile, the more likely they are to like it."
On Scandinavian design: ‘Time passes and life goes on. Scandinavian wildflowers grow on the roofs of our heritage museums. It's more than natural; it's life-affirming."
