Her most prominent designs were produced while she was working for the West German lighting company Staff. In 1968. she returned to Japan and established Ishii Motoko Design Office while continuing collaboration with various lighting companies. The flush mount shown in this post was manufactured STAFF and it was custom made for a luxurious SPA hotel in Belgrade, opened in early 1982. Hotel ordered three monumental flush mounts to grace the high ceilings of their lounge and the bar. The high quality chrome plated steel fixtures were handmade. Their surface is polished and is highly reflective almost to the point of a mirror reflection, as seen in the pictures. The flush mount features diamond shaped shades, that are known as the artistic signature of Motoko Ishii and can be seen in many of her works. There are 24 Diamond shaped opaline glass shades, attached to construction which cascades in three levels, creating a reverse pyramid. Only three flush mounts in this size and shape were ever made.
