Flos Pendant Lights: five iconic lamps that have left their marks on the history of design

Born from the whimsical creativity of Marcel Wanders, Skygarden captures the essence of a suspended garden. The plaster interior of the dome, painted in a delicate white, is adorned with flower garlands that transport you to an enchanted garden. The outer surface offers a choice of different variants, from black and glossy white to matt gold or rust. This masterpiece is the quintessential element to decorate a space steeped in the allure of a dreamy ambiance.

If we close our eyes and imagine the opulent halls that once hosted lavish receptions, we picture the classic chandeliers adorned with candles, illuminating rooms with their sumptuous elegance. Conceived by the visionary minds of Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Taraxacum came to life with the mission of modernizing the distinctive elements of traditional ornamental chandeliers, which had, perhaps, faded into obscurity. The goal was clear: to replicate the radiant allure of the classic chandelier while streamlining and lightening its form for a more contemporary touch.

Elegance and simplicity converge in the design of Glo-ball S2, a manifestation of Jasper Morrison's creative vision. This luminous masterpiece showcases an understated and refined white sphere reminiscent of a full moon, creating an ethereal, almost dreamlike atmosphere. Its pale light gently radiates through the space, evoking the romantic ambiance of moonlight.

Designed by Michael Anastassiades, the IC S2 pendant lamp draws inspiration from an enchanting interplay of spheres, seemingly suspended in the air as if frozen in time. The design captures the essence of infinite stillness, where each sphere occupies its space with an almost magical weightlessness. The lamp's refined aesthetic brings a harmonious balance and understated elegance to the space.

Among the masterpieces created by the brilliant Achille Castiglioni for Flos, Frisbi unquestionably deserves a prominent position on the list. Its intentionally futuristic allure seamlessly merges soft, soothing illumination with a direct glow. The light, delicately filtering through the disc, diffuses gently into the room, while the cone ensures that the table is bathed in a bright, lively light. This warm glow not only envelops shared family meals but also creates an atmosphere of comfort and serenity.
