FLOS floor lamp IC F1 10 Anniversary (Gold 24K - Blown glass and metal)

Description

With its 10th anniversary upcoming, Flos has decided to celebrate IC and the collaboration with Michael Anastassiades with a Special Edition and a family extension. Inspired by the idea of ancient ornaments that we admire as cultural testimonies, we chose a gold finish for the special edition together with Michael as a symbol of eternity rather than luxury. The special IC 10 Anniversary edition celebrates the archetypal allure of the collection: its capacity – like that of precious jewels or art pieces – to stand the test of time. The exclusive gold coating is realized with a special thickness to avoid additional transparent lacquer that is normally used to protect the finish from oxidation. The result is an impeccable extra shiny surface.

The IC collection of Flos, design by Michael Anastassiades, explores balance. There is a series of lights: table lights, wall lights, ceiling pendants and ceiling mounted lights which take as their basic form a sphere that is perfectly balanced on the edge of a rod.

The initials IC come from the codes that English police use to define the perceived ethnicity of a person they stop in the street when reporting back to the station. IC1 means white person or Northern European type, IC2 means Mediterranean European/Hispanic, IC3 indicates an African/Afro-Caribbean person, and so on, so this is a playful story to define the different designs.

For a proper use of the lamp, Flos suggests to use the following bulbs (not included in the package): 1 LED 8W E14 700lm 2700K cod. RF26767 DIMMABLE or 1 LED 8W E14 800lm 3000K cod. RF26565 DIMMABLE or 1 LED 10W E14 900lm 2700K cod. RF26261 DIMMABLE or 1 LED 10W E14 900lm 3000K cod. RF26260 DIMMABLE.
