Flos, a leader in the lighting industry for over 60 years, has been at the forefront of design innovation, revolutionizing how we think about artificial lighting. Founded in the early 1960s, the brand was born from the vision of Sergio Gandini and a brilliant collaboration with some of the most influential designers of the 20th century, including Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Tobia Scarpa, and Philippe Starck. With these groundbreaking collaborations, Flos introduced iconic lighting fixtures such as the Arco, Taraxacum, and Miss Sissi — each a testament to the company’s commitment to blending functionality with artistic expression.
Flos’s rich history is marked by a constant evolution of design. The brand’s collaboration with the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1972 helped solidify its international reputation as a pioneer of avant-garde lighting solutions. Over the years, Flos expanded its collection, continually collaborating with visionary designers such as Marc Newson, Konstantin Grcic, and Michael Anastassiades. This has resulted in a range of iconic lighting products that fuse art, technology, and craftsmanship.
Today, the Flos product range includes decorative lighting, professional lighting for architectural spaces, and outdoor lighting solutions, all designed to enhance various environments. Whether you are looking to illuminate a home, a commercial space, or an outdoor area, Flos offers versatile and timeless designs that suit every setting. From residential lighting like the elegant Parentesi and Glo-Ball to architectural pieces like the innovative 265 and Belvedere, Flos continues to redefine the concept of lighting.
At the heart of Flos’s philosophy is a commitment to sustainability. The brand’s “Flos for Planet” initiative drives its efforts to reduce its environmental impact, focusing on using sustainable materials and promoting circularity in design. Each piece is crafted with care, reflecting a blend of beauty, functionality, and responsibility.
As the brand celebrates its 60th anniversary, Flos remains a symbol of timeless design, where history meets the future of lighting. Whether you’re drawn to the history of iconic pieces or inspired by the latest innovations, Flos products continue to shape how light interacts with the spaces we live in.
"There is no difference between artificial and natural light. It’s just a matter of transmission, ions and photons are always the same." — Philippe Starck.
