Overview

The FARO AIRE 850 lamp is a suspension luminaire designed for those looking for more than just a light source. It attaches to the ceiling and transforms any space with a clean, distinctive visual presence. Its oval shapes, inspired by air bubbles, bring a character of their own without feeling cluttered. It works well in a living room, a dining room, or any area where light is part of the atmosphere and not just a practical function.

What makes this pendant lamp different is the shade material: recycled PETG, 3D printed. The textured, transparent surface diffuses light in a way that is reminiscent of glass, with soft reflections and a warmth that varies depending on the position and intensity of the bulb. The result is a piece that looks simple from a distance, but reveals nuances when light passes through it.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in indoor and outdoor lighting. Its catalogue combines contemporary design with responsible manufacturing criteria, and the AIRE collection is an example of that approach: recycled materials, a 3D printing process, and finishes that do not need to sacrifice aesthetics to be sustainable.

Installation and specifications

To install this pendant lamp on the ceiling, an enabled and accessible electrical junction box is required. Given the weight of the assembly, it is recommended to verify that the structural support of the ceiling is adequate before proceeding with installation. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician, especially to ensure a safe connection to the mains voltage. The E27 LED light source is not included and must be purchased separately, respecting the indicated maximum wattage of 20 W.

The recycled PETG shade can be cleaned with a soft, slightly damp cloth. The use of abrasive products or solvents is not recommended, as they may damage the surface texture. The steel body with white finish can be wiped with a dry or minimally damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid applying direct pressure on the shade during cleaning to preserve the integrity of the 3D-printed oval shapes.

Design and use

The AIRE collection was born from the idea of turning light into something tangible. The shade of this pendant lamp has an oval shape that evokes a suspended bubble, light and transparent. That same oval shape is reproduced with precision thanks to the 3D printing process, which allows a uniform texture to be achieved across the entire surface without losing the transparency of the material. When light passes through the shade, it is not projected in a concentrated beam but distributed softly, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of light filtered through glass without being as cold or as formal.

The body of the luminaire is made of steel with a white finish. This neutral finish allows the shade to be the starring element, while the structure integrates without drawing attention. It is a balance that works in modern interiors, but also in spaces with more neutral or eclectic lines where there is no desire to impose a specific style.

In a dining room, this ceiling lamp creates a focal point above the table without visually dominating the rest of the room. The diffused light it generates is sufficient to illuminate the area without causing glare. In a living room, it can work as the sole light source or be combined with other lights to modulate the atmosphere depending on the time of day. The installation height is a relevant factor: placed closer to the ceiling, it illuminates the space in a more general way; lowered a little further, it focuses attention on the area beneath the lamp.

In a bedroom, the effect of the oval shade is especially visible when the light is on at low intensity: the PETG texture captures and redistributes the light points of the LED bulb, producing a soft pattern that is projected onto nearby surfaces. In a bathroom with good ceiling clearance, this pendant luminaire can also be a valid option, provided the installation complies with electrical safety regulations for wet areas.

One of the possibilities this lamp offers is to be combined with other pieces from the same collection. Installed in a group, the lights create a composition that occupies the ceiling organically, as if several oval bubbles were floating at different heights. This type of installation works well in large spaces or in double-height entrances, where a single lamp would look too small.

The design of the AIRE collection connects with contemporary sensibilities without being eye-catching. The combination of a modern material such as recycled PETG with a shape as recognisable as the oval bubble produces a piece that balances innovation and familiarity. It does not need a specific decorative context to work well.
