New from FLOS: Bellhop & WireRing

NEW LIGHTS

FLOS' Newest Releases Embody Functional and Conceptual Brilliance

The newest lighting designs from FLOS are as different as can be. A solid, function-focused portable LED table light (Bellhop) and a lithe, minimalist sculptural wonder of a wall light (WireRing), the contrast between the pair serves to highlight the variety and versatility of FLOS' lighting designs and brand identity.

Each one the result of a tried-and-true lighting design partnership, Bellhop table light and WireRing wall sconce enjoy one more common element despite their differences: they are the product of meticulous and painstaking engineering on both artistic and technical levels in pursuit of a greater conceptual truth.

The category of portable LED lamps just got even better with the release of FLOS' new Bellhop portable table light. Bellhop was designed by Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby, based on their own original Bellhop table light design for the London Design Museum's Parabola Restaurant. Through their collaboration with FLOS, they were able to update their lighting design's technology and aesthetics to include an assortment of stylish tones--from luxurious white and grey options to sophisticated dark brown and vibrant burnt orange finishes.

Small and elegant, Bellhop functions like a modern day candle by providing a soft atmospheric pool of light. Fully rechargeable through the use of a 120cm Micro-USB charger (included with each piece), the Bellhop collection is great for indoor and outdoor use. At full strength, the lamp's battery – which is connected to a status indicator positioned beneath the lamp's base – has 24-hours' autonomy. This supplies users with strong illumination for extended periods of time. For more specific levels of brightness, the Bellhop's push-button switch positioned on the base provides a very useful 4-step dimmer function.

WireRing Wall Light designed by Formafantasma

FLOS' WireRing wall light, designed by design studio FormaFantasma, casts its light upon a white wall at the corner of a room between to large windows, which look out over the sea.

WireRing wall light, the latest design from Denmark-based Italian design team Formafantasma, is an exercise in reduction. Stripped back to its most essential components, this sculptural wall light delivers the most with the least. WireRing consists simply of a wire and a ring; from these components the technical and sculptural fixture exudes innovative style while providing spaces with eye-catching indirect light.

FLOS' new WireRing wall light has three different finishes for the cable and five for the ring

The functionality of the piece is quite remarkable. As FormaFantasma's constituent partners Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin explain, the design intends to showcase the 2.5 metre cable – which is usually considered something to hide – as a main focus. This allows for the transmission of energy to the extruded aluminum ring component fitted with an LED strip. Enhancing this impressive capability, the light is dimmable via switch pedal located on the cable. The piece also features a power supply on its adapter with interchangeable plugs.

WireRing's power-providing "wire" is fixed to the wall with ABS joints in the same finish as the ring, giving each of the fifteen finish combinations a clean, uniform look. Finally, choose from a smart selection of finishes: WireRing comes in three rubber cable colours (grey, pink, and white) as well as five ring options in galvanized and varnished finishes (black, gold, grey, pink, and white).
