Flos

Flos – Illuminating Design Since 1962

Since its founding in 1962, Flos has shaped the world of modern lighting through bold creativity and technical precision. Rooted in Italian craftsmanship and innovation, the brand continues to bridge art and industry — creating lighting that feels both timeless and ahead of its time.

With a name meaning flower in Latin, Flos has blossomed into a global icon of design. For over sixty years, its collections have redefined how we experience light — blending function, beauty and emotion in perfect balance. Each Flos lamp is crafted with care and intention, transforming everyday spaces into moments of light and shadow.

A Legacy of Collaboration

Flos has worked with some of the most influential names in design — including Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Gino Sarfatti, Philippe Starck, Patricia Urquiola, Michael Anastassiades, and Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec. Together, they have created lighting that is instantly recognisable and endlessly inspiring.

Among Flos’s most celebrated designs is the 2097 chandelier by Gino Sarfatti. First introduced in 1958, its industrial structure and soft, atmospheric glow have made it a modern classic — available today in elegant finishes such as chrome and brass.

Pioneering Innovation

Flos has always been guided by experimentation. From pioneering halogen technology to mastering LED innovation, the brand continues to explore the boundaries of light.

Designs like the Parentesi lamp by Achille Castiglioni and Pio Manzù — a flexible floor-to-ceiling fixture that glides effortlessly along a steel wire — show how Flos turns technical ingenuity into poetic design. The Aim pendant by the Bouroullec brothers brings the same philosophy into contemporary interiors, with long adjustable cables that allow light to be directed exactly where it’s needed.

Timeless Icons for Every Space

Today, Flos remains a leader in global lighting design — uniting artistry, craftsmanship and technology. From sculptural centrepieces to understated accents, each piece brings a refined sense of character to modern living.

At Nordic Nest, you’ll find a curated selection of Flos lighting — from their most iconic designs to new releases that continue to shape the future of light. Every Flos creation embodies the brand’s enduring vision: design that illuminates life beautifully.
