Information

The reinterpretation of an icon: the unique design of Infra-Structure evolves thanks to a new, extremely simplified modular concept. The subtle but visually stunning elements can be combined to characterize any architectural space with a strong stage presence. Subtle, incredibly versatile tubular structure. Thanks to a special connection system, it is possible to combine vertical and horizontal elements to create three-dimensional combinations in infinite variations using linear and geometric modules. The mechanical connection between the individual modules that make up the structure is made through a screw system that guarantees a fast and safe installation. Each module is locked in place by integrating two small, almost invisible grub screws once the installation is complete. The electrical connections of the lighting modules are extremely simple to make. Each lighting element is completed by a long 4 m electrical cable equipped with an output micro connector. The cable runs through all the different sections of the vertical structure and is then connected to the grid in the ceiling. All structural components are made of extruded aluminium tubular profiles painted black or white with 48V feeding. The system can be controlled as a group (DALI, 1-10V, FLOS Control®) through remote power supply units with broadcast control or individual control by means of one single driver for each lighting module. The family is made of lighting modules for general lighting featuring different optics and linear lighting modules providing diffused direct or indirect emission. Designed by Vincent Van Duysen

FLOS BELUX 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.
