Flyte Manhattan from Flyte

Merging the words fly, light, and the Swedish word for float, Flyte creates luminous spectacles that combine the wonders of magnetic levitation with wireless power. A lifelong passion that finally got off the ground, Flyte collection of gravity-defying lights and standalone products are a testament to lofty design.

FLYTE is a levitating light bulb that hovers by magnetic levitation and is powered through the air. Designed in Sweden, the FLYTE base is made of sustainably sourced oak, ash and walnut. Each unit is carefully crafted to precision using premium components inspired by minimalism and vintage design.

One of TIME Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2016 and winner of the LIT Award Lighting Product Design of 2017, Flyte’s iconic levitating light bulb has been the subject of conversation in homes and offices across the world. 

Flyte hovers in mid-air using magnetic levitation and is powered wirelessly through the air. Combining minimalist design and magnetic magic, Flyte makes the ultimate conversation piece and the perfect design gift for any home or office.

While most light bulbs are fixed to a socket, Flyte’s energy efficient LEDs are powered through the air, providing a soft, warm white glow.

Suspended in the air with almost no friction, its gentle rotating effect will keep you mesmerized in peaceful state of mind for hours. With Flyte, we’ve set the light bulb free!

Inspired by the monochrome skyline of New York, the Edison-style decorative lamp was created from borosilicate glass. The star-shaped filament with seven LEDs creates a pleasant atmosphere. The Swedish simple design is underlined by the chrome frame with aluminium ring and the base made of sustainably grown walnut wood.

FLYTE Manhattan uses an energy efficient LED rated to last about 50,000 hours. That’s 12 hours of usage a day for 11 years! FLYTE Manhattan is designed in Sweden.
