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. 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. Experimenting in new techniques, brothers Achille and Pier created contemporary lighting fixtures with artistic verve, making design history with their unique cocoon-like fixtures created by spraying resin over a steel structure. With its own ‘flosophy,’ FLOS designs within guidelines that believe light is more than just a basic need. FLOS uses experimentation, intuition and having fun to define and stand apart. FLOS is the recipient of many awards over its history, including Interior Design’s Best of Year Award in 2019, the Compasso d’Oro Award in 2020 and the Nycx Design Award in 2021. Today, FLOS exports to more than 80 countries and has stores in Rome, Milan, Paris, New York and more.
Key Features
Add a personable, architectural presence to inside spaces with the Parentesi 50 Anniversary Floor Lamp from FLOS. An enduring design first crafted in 1971 by Achille Castiglioni and Pio Manzù, it relies on a smooth, circular canopy and floor anchor to suspend a slender cable between them, threading through a short, slender metal tube in a stylized parentheses shape. This tube supports a single switched spotlight that can be posed at will, relying on the natural friction of the metal tube to keep the lamping in place at each different height.
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.
