TOPDESIGN STARTS WITH A TOPDESIGNER;
FLOS PUTS ITS DESIGNERS IN THE SPOTLIGHTS
The Italian toplabel Flos, founded in 1962 in Merano, is being recognised as one of the most
leading producers of innovative lighting solutions in the residential and architectural branch.
Their high end products and systems are being marked by iconic designs.
But topdesign starts with topdesigners. During the last edition of Salone del Mobile,
Flos putted their spotlights on Michael Anastassiades en Achille Castiglioni!
A jewel of a lighting sculpture
Michael Anastassiades always has been fascinated by the parallel between lighting and jewelry. “I wondered, if I would be capable of translating such a small and delicate jewel to something big and spacious, and preserving the value of the material at the same time.”
The spectacular lighting installation ‘Jewels after Jewels after Jewels’ of Flos during the Milan Design Week, attracted many interested parties, but now you can also see ‘Arrangements’ in the Flinders store.
Tribute to a Master
In the showroom at Corso Monforte in Milan, Flos brought a complete tribute to Master designer Castiglioni. Inside the store many wall displays showed many bestseller designs, which are still in production and are available at Flinders, like o, Snoopy, Taccia, Toio, Lampadina, Gatto, Taraxacum 88 and more. Each one of them still has its own piece of provocation and wonder, with an equal dose of giddiness, often summarized in the names he gave them.
Did you know that the Flinders store in Zaandam is decorated with Flos lighting? And maybe nice to know: today they started SALE, which will last until 9thSeptember. A unique opportunity to shop (Italian) design with huge discount!
