The Fil de Fer suspension light by Catellani & Smith, designed by Enzo Catellani, is an iconic piece of contemporary lighting design. A true luminous sculpture, it embodies the poetic and artisanal spirit of the Italian brand.

Handcrafted from shaped and woven aluminium wire, Fil de Fer encloses a constellation of tiny bulbs that emit a warm, sparkling, and enveloping glow. Each piece is unique, showcasing meticulous craftsmanship where material is transformed into light.

Originally created nearly twenty years ago for a special commission that was never realised, the lamp remained suspended in Enzo Catellani’s workshop. Whenever it was switched on, it captivated viewers with its magical presence. Recognising its emotional impact, the designer continued to refine it, eventually bringing it to market—where it became one of the most iconic creations of Catellani & Smith.

Perfect as a designer pendant light for living rooms, above a dining table, or as a statement piece in contemporary interiors, Fil de Fer enhances any space with its subtle and artistic glow. It is particularly suited to high-end residential and professional interiors.

It pairs beautifully with other iconic pieces from Catellani & Smith, creating cohesive and refined lighting compositions.

Available at Sisu, official Catellani & Smith retailer in Brussels, the Fil de Fer suspension is the perfect choice for those seeking a timeless and statement lighting piece.
