Flos: The Brand That Revolutionized the Concept of Lighting
Flos is an all-Italian brand that has revolutionized the seemingly simple concept of lighting through its production of iconic and unconventional designs. Founded in 1962 in Merano, Flos’ story in lighting fixtures began in a small workshop where Dino Gavina, Cesare Cassina, and Arturo Einsenkeil experimented with styles, materials, and functions.
Following its immediate success, in 1963, Flos—whose name derives from Latin, meaning “flower”—expanded and moved its headquarters to the province of Brescia, with Sergio Gandini becoming its managing director.
What has been the company’s strength from day one? The blend of creative vision and technical skill. From its founding to today, the continuous creative presence of design masters has been crucial.
The History of Flos
From a small Italian artisan workshop to exhibitions in the world’s most prestigious museums, such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Four key designers have contributed to this extraordinary achievement: Philippe Starck, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, and Tobia Scarpa. Today, the company has showrooms worldwide, and leadership has been passed down within the family from father to son.
A lamp is an essential object that can also serve as a key piece of décor. Design can merge originality, creativity, and ease of use in a single object. From the beginning, the company has committed to ongoing research, experimenting with new forms and solutions. The vibrant and elegantly creative style of Flos lamps is what makes them unique. The use of innovative materials like cocoon—originally used only in the industrial and packaging sectors—along with meticulous craftsmanship and quality, have always been and remain hallmarks of the brand.
Flos: The Italian Brand That Turns Light Into Ideas
The light bulb is a symbol of an idea: in this case, the ideas are countless, and the history of this lighting brand continues thanks to them and the designers who create them. Useful products, but not only: design lamps that remain iconic pieces, blending functionality, novelty, and uniqueness.
Every Flos lamp tells a story—a different way of studying and seeing the world. Experimentation is essential within the company, and for this reason, the search for new design talent never ends, nor does the study of technique and technology. These are highly technical, quality products designed to be functional yet always exclusive. Somewhere between art and design, between craftsmanship and industry.
Concepts that may seem simple: Flos redefines the oldest concept in the world—light—by envisioning it free to express itself, beyond conventions, through an everyday object like the lamp.
