Iconic Nictea pendant light designed by Tobia Scarpa for Flos, Italy, circa 1960s. Crafted in white-lacquered aluminum, the fixture's domed form and perforated detailing embody the era's fascination with space-age design and modernist precision.

The balanced geometry diffuses light evenly while casting a soft halo through the circular perforations - a subtle nod to the celestial inspiration behind the piece. Adjustable coil cord and canopy in matching finish.

An essential example of mid-century Italian lighting, merging industrial clarity with poetic restraint.
