Brighten Your Home With Flos

Instantly refresh your home this Spring with Flos lighting.

Founded by Sergio Gandini in 1962 in Merano, Italy, FLOS has revolutionized the art of lighting by honoring tradition while embracing innovation. 

FLOS is, above all else, about craftsmanship, and as a result the brand has cultivated long and successful partnerships with some of the world's most renowned lighting artists. Working with icons such as the Castiglioni brothers, Tobia Scarpa, Philippe Starck and Antonio Citterio, among others, FLOS has earned the respect of the industry while growing its offerings to include residential, commercial, and custom-made concept-based products. An award winning institution in its own right, FLOS has earned worldwide recognition as the leader in the field.

Today, Sergio's grandson Piero Gandini sits at the helm, holding fast to the values and ideas established by his grandfather while moving confidently into the future. At FLOS, a world of light blooms around you, beautifully. We are glad you're here.

Konstantin Grcic was trained as a cabinet maker at The John Makepeace School for Craftsmen in Wood before studying Design at the Royal College of Art in London. He set up his own office in Munich in 1991, today Konstantin Grcic Design is based in Berlin. The office is active in several fields ranging from industrial design projects, exhibition design and architectural collaborations. His work is characterised by a careful research into the history of art, design and architecture and his passion for technology and materials.

Grcic feels very fortunate to be doing something he loves so passionately and hopes young designers starting out feel the same way. "Some people today think design is all about having fun, but that's not true," he states. "It's hard work, serious work. You have to think not only about the object you're designing, but everything else about it, from how it will be produced to who will be using it, to what happens to it after it goes through its life cycle. So designing is big responsibility. And I believe you can only do it well if you truly enjoy it."
