The FLOS Story
Founded in 1962, FLOS is an Italian design company started by brothers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni and Tobia Scarpa in Merano, northern Italy. Experimenting in new techniques, they created contemporary lighting fixtures with artistic verve, making design history with their unique cocoon-like fixtures created by spraying resin over a steel structure. Today, FLOS exports to more than 80 countries and has stores in Rome, Milan, Paris, New York and more.
Why We Love FLOS Lighting
FLOS light fixtures are high concept, quality Italian lighting fixtures that serve as works of art, some of which have even become icons in the contemporary lighting field. FLOS has its own ‘flosophy,’ design guidelines that inform everything made by the company. Believing light is more than just a basic need, FLOS uses experimentation, intuition and having fun to define and stand apart from the competition. The company is built upon the strong concepts of international designers Patricia Urquiola, Paolo Rizzatto, Philippe Starck and more, giving it a unique and iconic history.
Fun Facts About FLOS
FLOS has joined the past with the present, lighting holy sites in Italy like the Church Castelferretti, the Duomo Cremona, and the Basilica S. Clemente with modern suspensions and pendants. FLOS' products are commonly featured in television and movies as well, such as the Arco Lamp seen in Diamonds are Forever and The Italian Job.
Noteworthy Lighting from FLOS
Featured in the Museum of Modern Art of New York, the Castiglioni's Arco Floor Lamp is an iconic piece of modern design with noticeable mid-century flair. The Taccia Table Lamp challenges perspective by giving the illusion of an upside-down hanging lamp. Recently celebrating its 50 year anniversary, the Parentesi Suspension is an adjustable lamp that connects from floor to ceiling with a steel cable.
FLOS is the recipient of many awards over its history. The Arrangments Collection won the Compasso d'Oro Award (2020). Part light sculpture, part industrial design, Arrangements is a geometric modular lighting system. The Coordinates Collection won the Nycx Design Award (2021). The collection is a series of horizontal and vertical strip lights that form an elegant, grid-like luminaire. The Noctambule Collection won the Interior Design's Best of Year Award - Chandelier Lighting (2019). Noctambule consists of clear glass cylinders that appear to lie dormant until magically illuminated.
Key Features
The IC S Pendant Light from FLOS is a case study in balance. After watching a video clip of a contact juggler, designer Michael Anastassiades was inspired by the skill it took to spin and move the set of spheres around the juggler's body. His starting point was to capture the moment where the spheres seemed to freeze in place on the juggler's arms and edge of his fingers, thus was born the IC collection. Features a steel frame and blown glass opal diffuser.
FLOS was first established in 1962 in Merano, Italy, to produce high quality modern lighting. This Italian lighting company continues to do so to this day by collaborating with talented international designers and researching the latest lighting technologies and materials. Resulting FLOS lighting fixtures are daring and provocative, yet uphold the fundamental principles of good design.

HalogenLumens
The amount of light that comes from a bulb, which has commonly been measured in watts. The more lumens, the brighter the bulb.Wattage
A measurement of the power delivered to a component of an electric circuit (allowing a one-ampere current to flow through the component under the pressure of 1 volt.)Bulb Shape
Bulb shapes are denoted with a letter, which describes the shape, and a number, which indicates the size. The number indicates the diameter of the light bulb at its widest part in eighths of an inch.Base
The part of the bulb that connects to the fixture and its power supply. Bulb bases are denoted with the letter E, and a number which indicates the diameter of the bulb base at its widest part in millimeters.Voltage
Indicates how much voltage a bulb can accept via the fixture it's installed in.Light Color Temperature
The relative color from a light source, measured on the Kelvin temperature scale. Warm light is lower in color temperature (2700-3000 K) and cool, blue light is higher (5000 K).Average Rated Life
The average amount time that a bulb is expected to last.CRI
CRI = color rendering index. This number, which can go from 0 to 100, measures the ability of a light or bulb accurately renders colors. The higher the number, the better, with most quality bulbs these days measuring at least in the 80s.Manufacturer IDs: view
