"We consider it the Mercedes of the lamps. A successful symbol: perhaps because it resembles a classical column. Certainly we were not thinking about prestige when we designed it. We wanted to get a surface that was cold.. So Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni told Taccia, classical and refined lamp, now among the timeless icons signed Flos.

Designed by Achille Castiglioni on the occasion of the opening Flosshowoom in Turin in 1972, Bulb is a bulb lamp, partially satined to limit the reverb, housed on a lampholder with built-in switch and supported on a coil as an aluminum base, useful for coiling the excess cable. Pure and ironic as the total work of master Castiglioni, Lampadina is today one of the historical pieces of lighting design.

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.

Generous proportions and soft shapes for Gustave of Flos, cordless lamp designed by Vincent Van Duysen, perfect synthesis between the most innovative optical-luminous technology and exceptional engineering, developed to respond to the discretionary purpose of Flos for this project: to create the first portable lamp of the market with consciousness of circular design, ecological and sincerely designed against lobsolescence.

Synthesis of expressivity, form and function, lamp Snoopy produced by Flos since 1967 it is a nice tribute to the character created by cartoonist Charles M. Schulz. Designed by brothers Castiglioni, is composed of a black painted metal reflector, a thick glass plate and a white marble base with an innovative dimmer for the time that regulates the intensity of light. A description so technical and neutral makes us lose its main ingredient: irony.
