Fly Outdoor by Contardi Italia is an outdoor lighting solution designed to meet both the technical and aesthetic requirements of architectural lighting in high end residential and contract environments. Its restrained form and reliable performance make it particularly well suited to contemporary homes where clarity and consistency are essential.
Designed for architectural continuity
Fly Outdoor is available in two heights in its floor mounted version, allowing designers to create a considered rhythm across external spaces. This flexibility supports visual continuity, whether lighting a short garden path or a long approach to a property.
The design is intentionally understated. During the day, the fitting sits quietly within the landscape. At night, it delivers controlled, functional illumination that supports the architecture rather than competing with it.
Practical applications in luxury residential projects
In high end residential schemes, Fly Outdoor can be used across multiple exterior zones to create a cohesive lighting language.
Driveways and arrival sequences
Positioned along driveways or entrance routes, Fly Outdoor helps guide movement while reinforcing the sense of arrival. The soft, controlled light improves visibility without glare, setting a calm and composed tone from the moment guests approach the property.
Garden pathways and circulation
Used along garden paths, Fly Outdoor improves safety after dark while maintaining the integrity of the landscape design. The option of two heights allows designers to subtly layer light, particularly effective in larger gardens with varied planting and levels.
Terraces and outdoor living areas
Placed along terraces, patios or pool edges, Fly Outdoor helps define space without enclosing it. This extends the usability of outdoor living areas into the evening, supporting dining, entertaining and relaxation without introducing visual clutter.
Perimeter and boundary definition
In larger plots, Fly Outdoor can be used to gently articulate boundaries, helping to structure the exterior environment while preserving a sense of openness.
Flexible installation for bespoke interior design projects
One of Fly Outdoor’s key strengths is its adaptable anchoring system. High end residential projects often involve complex ground conditions, custom landscaping and varied surface finishes. The flexible installation approach allows Fly Outdoor to integrate seamlessly across different applications, making it particularly suitable for bespoke architectural schemes.
A considered approach to exterior lighting
Fly Outdoor is not a decorative statement piece. It is a tool for designers and architects who view lighting as an integral part of the spatial experience.
By combining technical reliability, understated design and installation flexibility, Fly Outdoor supports a more resolved approach to outdoor lighting. One where the architecture remains the focus and the lighting simply allows it to be experienced properly, day and night.
For residential projects where exterior spaces are designed with the same care as interiors, Fly Outdoor offers a quiet but highly effective solution.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of projects is Fly Outdoor best suited for
Fly Outdoor is ideal for high end residential projects where outdoor lighting needs to feel architectural rather than decorative. It works particularly well in private homes with landscaped gardens, long approach routes, terraces and defined outdoor living areas.
Can Fly Outdoor be used across multiple exterior zones
Yes. One of its strengths is visual consistency. Using the same fitting across driveways, pathways and garden circulation helps create a cohesive lighting language throughout the property.
Why are two height options important
The two height options allow designers to control scale and rhythm across different spaces. Lower heights suit intimate garden paths, while taller versions work well for driveways, boundaries and larger external areas.
Does Fly Outdoor suit traditional as well as contemporary homes
While Fly Outdoor has a modern, restrained design, it integrates well into both contemporary and refined traditional settings where the lighting is intended to be subtle and supporting rather than expressive.
How flexible is installation on bespoke sites
Very flexible. Fly Outdoor’s adaptable anchoring system makes it suitable for projects with varied ground conditions, changes in level and custom landscaping, which is common in high end residential work.
Is Fly Outdoor suitable for year round outdoor use
Yes. It is designed for reliable outdoor performance, making it suitable for long term installation in residential and contract environments.
