The fixture was created by French furniture designers Beau & Bien. The Smoon Ombrella lamp gets its sculptural shape from custom cut Plexiglas. It towers at 81″ tall. The canopy itself measures a substantial 39.4″ x 59″.

081108_smoon_02.jpgThe Smoon Ombrella uses LED lighting to cast it's glow. The LEDs have low power comsumption and run on a rechargeable battery back, that lets you place the lamp anywhere without worrying about pesky wires.

The Smoon Ombrella is available in red, green, clear and other colors. The clear color is nifty, since it lets the surrounding colors shine through.
