Falkland Suspension, designed by Bruno Munari, is a lamp that address the focus of material tension. It is the enlightenment of the lighting sculpture, Tension.
The charming insight that Falkland Suspension brought to Tension is that its tension of the fabric can be changed by adding or reducing more sections of lamp body. This change in the physical realm prompts the thinking on the philosophy and de!nition of the term “tension”.Tension eventually became the tension of almost all the visual elements, conflicting the existence in the environment.
