The beginnings of Flos (meaning “flower” in Latin) blossomed from a brilliant idea: to create objects, starting with a light bulb, that would change the way of life for both the Italian market and foreign markets.
Italian entrepreneur Dino Gavina and the small Eisenkeil manufacturing facility in Merano had already been creating furniture alongside design masters such as Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni and Afra and Tobia Scarpa.
Gandini, together with his exclusive designers (the Castiglioni brothers and the Scarpa duo), shaped Flos’ products, communication strategy, and image. Together, they crafted their vision, which led to the creation of some of the most iconic lamps in the history of lighting.
