Artemide Falkland DS2040 Suspension Light

Description:

Artemide Falkland DS2040RIF+ — designer pendant light by Bruno Munari (Ø 40 cm)

Falkland is a suspended lamp that creates atmosphere without overpowering the interior. Its sculptural silhouette doesn’t rely on a traditional shade; instead, it is formed by the interplay between the tension of a finely woven, elastic fabric tube and the weight of metal rings that shape the signature “rippling” profile. A single light source with an aluminium reflector subtly highlights the texture and contours of the material, delivering pleasantly soft, diffused illumination.

A design icon since 1964

Bruno Munari’s 1964 design remains a benchmark of timeless minimalism: a straightforward construction, maximum visual impact, and an exceptional quality of gentle light. Falkland is often cited as a museum- and collector-worthy piece that still performs beautifully in everyday living spaces.

Why the Artemide Falkland pendant works in real interiors

Soft, comfortable light

The fabric acts as a diffuser—light remains smooth and non-glare, ideal for relaxation zones and social areas.

Visual lightness + decorative presence

Its slim silhouette looks striking both when illuminated and during the day when switched off.

Naturally suits multiple styles

Minimalism, Scandinavian simplicity, modern classic, loft and eclectic interiors—Falkland doesn’t compete with décor; it refines and warms it.
