Floss: because man has a relationship with light
De relatie die mensen hebben met licht is niet alleen functioneel. Het gaat zover dat de mens ook emotioneel tegenover licht staat. Licht en schaduw gaan samen en samen scheppen ze sfeer. Elk exemplaar van Flos verlichting wordt gecreëerd in de Flos studios. Het zijn de kweekvijvers, de broeihaarden of op zijn minst het kloppend hart van een firma die voor topdesign gaat.
Floss: flower or brilliant idea
The Italian designer Achille Castiglioni and his two brothers Livio and Pier had already started designing and manufacturing design furniture in 1944. In 1960 they thought it was time for something different. 1960 was the start of Flos lighting. The idea behind the start was to make beautiful objects, starting with a light bulb. With the same passion with which they designed furniture, they created iconic lamps such as the Taraxacum or the Fantasma lamp. These became world famous.
Top designers for top creations at Flos
We let the top designers of Flos talk for a moment: for example Jules Gim, Akari Lisa Ishii or the duo of Dot Dash. They all approach the space before starting a design. Lighting should not be inconspicuous, but should be physically clearly present. The Italian designer Piero Lissoni even calls the light a special scratch in a shadow. Jan van Lierde and Paul Traynor look at it from the human point of view and speak of light as respect for the needs of man and man who, thanks to light, transforms space. These are scratchy statements that result from a philosophy that you, as a buyer of Flos lighting, probably do not immediately think about.
1962: Ready for the Arco floor lamp of Flos
Actually, the creation of the Arco floor lamp Flos is a logical continuation of the philosophy of Flos: starting from the incandescent lamp in order to achieve a beautiful piece of design. This lamp can easily be called an icon or even better an icon. It is not surprising that it has already been copied many times. This lamp combines the beauty of white Carrara marble with stainless steel. The angular shape of the base forms a nice contrast with the spherical lamp. The arm is telescopic and has a satin finish. It was designed in 1962 but is now more contemporary than ever. Timeless, classy and strongly present in the room: this is how one can describe this Arco floor lamp Flos.
