IN THE AIR

A suspension light inspired by sci-fi aesthetics

Created by French designer Douglas Mont for DCW Editions Paris, the In The Air collection reimagines the classic chandelier through the lens of retro-futurism. Influenced by science-fiction films and comic spaceships from the 1950s and 60s, this sculptural light floats in space with elegance and lightness.

A structure that levitates through its own cables

The circular metal frame is suspended by its own luminous cables, creating a strong visual illusion of weightlessness. Each light module appears as an orbiting unit, forming a suspended fleet of glowing satellites.

Two versions available: x3 and x6

The chandelier comes in two configurations: In The Air x3 (Ø 97 cm) and In The Air x6 (Ø 95.7 cm). The x6 version offers greater visual presence for larger spaces, while the x3 fits well in intimate, minimalist interiors.

A sculptural and unexpected light object

Unlike traditional chandeliers, this design acts as a floating totem, free from floor anchoring. Its cosmic shape and minimal presence make it a conversation piece as much as a functional luminaire.

Between functional light and sci-fi sculpture

In The Air is both a lighting solution and a conceptual artwork. It brings elegance, imagination and a cosmic edge to interiors, blending design, emotion and visual impact.
