As a matter of fact, the name of the Marchetti Afelio S60 pendant light LED is taken from astronomy: the Italian word "Afelio" translates to aphelion, which is the point in the orbit of a planet at which it is farthest from the sun. The Afelio S60 pendant light by Marchetti truly develops an almost uplifting aura that takes the viewer into distant galaxies.
