Balloon doesn't drift off into the sky, because it finds its home on your ceiling or wall and gives out light to brighten your rooms. The ceiling and wall versions of Balloon feature a stylized design. To give these pieces the ethereal appearance desired, the shade is made of satinized polyethylene, a translucent material that hides an energy saving fluorescent bulb. What's more, a fine red cable hangs subtly from the shade, which has a novel triple function as a three position switch in the wall version: background light, pilot light and off. The pilot light consists of a small, 0.5W LED bulb that gently lights dark spots, providing guidance and reassurance at night.
