Balloon Flush Mount Ceiling Light

Designed to look like a helium balloon that has drifted up and settled against the ceiling, this flush mount gets its charm from restraint rather than decoration. The form is a clean glossy sphere pressed to the ceiling with a small tail detail, and that is all there is to it, which is why it works as a piece of modern design rather than as a novelty.

Seven colours are offered in three sizes. Pink, orange, yellow, red, blue and green are all clear, confident tones, and white is there for a room where the shape should do the work without the colour. The 25 cm size is the accent, and a group of three or five in mixed colours across a playroom or a nursery ceiling looks considerably better than one on its own. At 30 cm it works as the main light in a child's bedroom; at 35 cm it can hold a larger room. Because it sits flush there is no drop, which matters in a room where a ball might be thrown.

This is a light fitting, not a toy, and it must be mounted securely out of reach. Intended for indoor use in dry locations only. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician, and the ceiling fixing must be rated for the weight of the fitting.
