Luminous rectilinear forms appear to float in space, mounted in striking patterns on
ceilings and walls or suspended in sequence from adjustable cables. Here is a lighting
approach that is simple to the point of abstraction. FLYING SURFACE, conceived by
celebrated French architect Jean Nouvel for Spanish lighting manufacturer Troll, is
the result of capturing light on a plane floating in space. FLYING SURFACE delivers
soft, soothing, uniform illumination, and its pure form encourages playful, creative
arrangement for unusual visual effects.
Advanced materials.To achieve the poetic visual concept of FLYING SURFACE, Troll used advanced
materials to assure appropriate transmission of light with highly refined uniformity. A
special white textile material on an acrylic base conceals the steel inner body, housing an
enhanced reflector and T8 fluorescent lamps. With optional electronic dimming, the 2x2,
4x4 and 4x6 FLYING SURFACE luminaires provide the variation needed for designers
to inject high drama into virtually any interior space. FLYING SURFACE is available in
pendant-, ceiling-, and surface-mounted versions.

JEAN NOUvEL, the designer of FLYING SURFACE for Troll, has received the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, the Wolf Prize in Arts, and the Pritzker Prize. Numerous museums and architectural centers have presented retrospectives of his work.

The FLYING SURFACE shade is comprised of a special white textile material on an acrylic base over a steel frame. The fabric was chosen specifically for its color and diffusing capabilities. It is cleanable with soap and water.
FLYING SURFACE consists of a steel pan, which houses all of the lamps and control gear, and a shade covered in fabric over acrylic.
The luminous fabric of FLYING SURFACE appears to float in space because the sides of the frame are angled back 17º and are not lit.

fluorescent lamps to add color to FLYING SURFACE fixtures.
