Mayday is a term used to ask for help during wars. The term comes from a pronunciation error: the English pilots who flew over France in the First World War, failing to correctly say the expression "venez m’aider" (come to help me), replaced it with a more Anglophone, "Mayday". Mayday is also the name of the lamp that the designer Kostantin Grcic has designed for Flos in 1999 with the goal of "can be useful whenever you need light". The lamp Flos it is inspired by work, in fact also called emergency, that with a hook can be positioned everywhere.
