Italian Lighting Design Excellence
Flos is a world‑renowned Italian lighting brand that has shaped the language of contemporary illumination for over six decades. Founded in 1962 in Merano, Italy, Flos was born from the visionary idea of transforming the light bulb into objects of design capable of redefining the way we live, work and experience space.
Pioneering the Art of Light
Since its inception by Dino Gavina and Cesare Cassina, Flos has forged a path that fuses art, technology and craftsmanship into lighting solutions that transcend function and become timeless design icons.
From the earliest collaborations with design masters like Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni and Tobia Scarpa to later partnerships with contemporary talents such as Philippe Starck, Michael Anastassiades, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Patricia Urquiola, Jasper Morrison and many others, Flos has continually expanded the boundaries of what lighting can be.
Iconic Lighting as Design Objects
Flos lights are not merely functional, they are expressions of creativity and emotion, integrating seamlessly into interiors and architecture. Several designs have become design classics:
-
Arco Lamp (1962) by Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni — a masterpiece that casts overhead light without ceiling fixtures, part of the permanent collection of design museums worldwide including MoMA in New York.
-
IC Lights by Michael Anastassiades — refined pieces that balance form and function in sculptural harmony.
-
A wide range of floor, table, pendant and wall lamps that blend visionary design with everyday utility.
Flos continues to produce modern classics recognized for their aesthetic clarity, technical sophistication and cultural impact.
Craftsmanship and Visionary Collaborations
The strength of Flos lies in its long‑standing collaborations with the most influential designers and architects of modern design. These relationships have yielded a rich, diverse catalog of lighting solutions that speak the language of design history while remaining deeply contemporary.
Whether for residential, hospitality or architectural applications, Flos fixtures are conceived as sculptural elements that shape environments with elegance and innovation.
We are proud to present Flos at the Danilo Cascella Premium Store thanks to our exclusive partnership with the historic Roman store Catalano Ufficio, a long-standing reference point for Italian design excellence.
