Philosophie
FLOS IDENTITY
Since its founding in 1962, Flos (“flower” in Latin) has been an industry leader, a standout company creating surprising forms of illumination that inspire and delight. Starting with Artur Eisenkeil’s cocoon material, a special technique that has remained unchanged until today, and iconic designs like the Arco and Taccia lamps designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Flos immediately gained—and has maintained—a reputation for manufacturing masterfully poetic designs and forward-thinking inventions. With this exceptionally rich legacy propelling the brand forward, Flos continues to push boundaries and make timeless, ethereal icons, linking design and engineering with art and culture to profound effect.
Producing discrete, sophisticated solutions with top design talents including Michael Anastassiades, Barber & Osgerby, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Antonio Citterio, Konstantin Grcic, Piero Lissoni, Jasper Morrison, Nendo, Philippe Starck, Patricia Urquiola, Vincent Van Duysen, and Marcel Wanders, among many others, Flos continues to both respect and advance its rich history in pursuit of the unexpected. Through its four intersecting units—Architectural, Decorative, Outdoor, and Bespoke— Flos’ products remain as beautiful and seductive as they are varied, blossoming in new directions.
BRAND PHILOSOPHY
At Flos, we craft edgy, new languages of light – and have been doing so for nearly 60 years. We’re boundary-pushers and believe in challenging ourselves. We’re conversation starters. We’re builders, doers, and dreamers. Throughout our history, we’ve produced revolutionary, category-defining products that enhance any building or setting, and we continue to lead in this way. Form, function, and performance drives each and every Flos creation. Merging technology and emotion, we integrate light into architecture and nature, bringing a sophisticated, poetic sensibility to all that we do. We believe in less but better, and quality over quantity. We believe in cutting-edge experimentation. Taking the long view, we create sustainable and timeless lighting fixtures, each of which we refine to its truest essence. Known for our ability to make bold choices, we follow our instincts as opposed to trends. Organized into four divisions—Flos Architectural, Flos Decorative, Flos Outdoor, and Flos Bespoke—Flos incorporates a holistic, human-centered philosophy across our company. For us, light is a means to illuminate the unexplored.
