BELLHOP GLASS
Bellhop Glass tabletop
The 33 cm diameter diffuser of the table version of Bellhop Glass rests on a cylindrical base of 12 cm in diameter in aluminum, a material that was also chosen for the ease with which it can be managed at the end of its life (it is totally recyclable), available in cioko, white and aluminum brill versions.

To brighten aluminum, Flos uses fixing tanks which alter its surface: the result is a shiny finish that does not oxydise not is oxidising to the human touch.

The rose and the ring that connects the diffuser with the cylindrical base are in aluminum, available in cioko, white or aluminum brill finishes.

“The finishing details are made of metal, plated or painted because they have a structural role, they must support the large blown glass diffuser”, explains Edward Barber.
Bellhop Glass suspension
The pendant Bellhop Glass has been developed in 3 sizes of 18, 33 and 45 cm in diameter.

The peculiarity of this model is the possibility to use it as an ambient but also as a task light, which directly illuminates, with a non-blinding cone of light, the surface on which it is suspended.

“Pendant lamps are often open at the bottom, but the result is a too intrusive, dazzling light,” explains Edward Barber. “With Bellhop Glass we created a double opening in the glass: in the upper part, to accommodate the electrical components, and at the bottom. Here we created a hole, protected by an aluminum element, large enough to direct the light (and change the bulb) but which does not bring the diffusion up to the eyes of those sitting at the table".

A cone of light is therefore created inside the suspended Bellhop Glass: which expands homogeneously in the environment on all sides and lands on the table precisely, like a torch, visually signaled by the colored aluminum ring that surrounds the lower opening of the lamp. The cylinder above the suspension also refers to the latter, also made of colored metal.
“The cylinder that emerges from the top of the lamp is an aesthetic reference to the Bellhop family, a cylindrical extrusion in which the electrical components are positioned,” explains Osgerby.
