APERTURE
A crevice or rupture may be perceived as a severe imperfection in need of repair, as jagged edges and unpredictable angles often suggest sudden and undesirable friction. Flos's 'Wall Rupture' may be the antidote for this notion. Designer, Thierry Dreyfus instead highlights the "break" with LED lighting luring your attention and drawing you in.

INTERTWINED
In order for living and even non-living things to be effective they must relate to one another and connect. Ron Gilad has hit the mark with his demonstration of connecting and interrelated elements. The 'Wall Piercings' from Flos illustrate the interaction and dynamic relationship between architecture, lighting and the latest LED technology. With individual rings interlacing, these simple forms take on a whole new life.

A SPROUTED CEILING
As a young boy, Marcel Wanders would stare at the ornamental molding on his bedroom ceiling and conjure up ways of creating a magical reality that may only live in dreams. That magical reality came to fruition cleverly disguised as a lighting concept in collaboration with Flos. The 'Skygarden' is available as an integrated recessed fixture or a bold suspension lamp.

A solar eclipse is a beautiful and rare occasion, yet it is not advisable to fixate your stare. The carefully designed 'G-O' from Flos will delicately light your path without distracting your attention or burning your retinas. Suitable for indoor and outdoor applications.

MOONSHINE
The moon is magnetic; a loyal nightly backdrop for our multi-faceted lifestyles and relationships. Flos has struck a cord by introducing the USO Cove. The soft inset glow of the Cove, applicable to the wall or ceiling, will leave you moonstruck.
