Lighting Stories: Michael Anastassiades and Flos celebrate 10 years of IC Lights
"Golden Hour" celebrates the 10th anniversary of Michael Anastassiades' iconic IC collection with a luxurious 24 karat gold finish. This new detail enhances the archetypal and essential design that has made this collection a standout in contemporary lighting. The Anniversary Collection features three numbered and autographed versions: the IC table lamp, floor lamp, and suspension lamp, all reimagined in larger proportions, with a 45cm-diameter gold sphere, offering a surreal reinterpretation of its light, airy design.
Captured in a series of evocative photographs by Daniel Riera at the Mies Van Der Rohe Pavilion in Barcelona, this special edition celebrates a decade of evolution and success for one of the most iconic collections in the Flos catalog.
The IC collection encapsulates the moment when a juggler's sphere pauses perfectly still on their arm, a concept that inspired its initial design. This collection explores the idea of balance, with a sphere poised on the edge of a pole, where the archetypal circle and straight line meet. It expresses "a moment of stillness within a hypothetical movement that anyone can relate to".
The success of the collection lies in its simplicity. Its timeless purity guarantees it will remain cherished for years to come. "After all spheres have always existed, brass is an ancient material, and balance is an intriguing concept." Michael Anastassiades
Since its introduction in 2014, the IC Collection has expanded to include numerous variants, featuring different versions for floors, ceilings, walls, and tables, as well as outdoor lamps. This complete range showcases the versatility and purity of the design, fitting seamlessly into any context with timeless elegance and exclusive style.
