FLOS suspension lamp IC S1 (Chromed steel - Blown glass and metal)

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.

"I came across an online video clip of a contact juggler. He was spinning a set of spheres, moving them around on his arms and edge of his fingers. And as I got mesmerized by the magic of his skill, suddenly the spheres look perfectly still. I wanted to capture that exact moment. This was my starting point."

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.
