Frequently Asked Questions
What is Edge Lighting technology in the Almendra?
Edge Lighting is Flos's system that positions light-emitting elements along the edge of a profile rather than facing downward. In the Almendra, this produces a diffused, directional glow that can be reoriented in 60-degree increments, giving a single fixture considerable compositional range.
Can the Almendra be configured for large or irregular spaces?
Yes. The modular system is designed to produce both linear runs and free-form arrangements, making it well suited to spaces where a rigid grid would conflict with the architecture. Configurations should be discussed with a lighting specialist or the manufacturer to ensure structural and electrical compatibility.
What dimming systems are compatible with the Almendra?
The Almendra supports 1-10V, DALI, and phase-cut dimming protocols, which covers the most common building management and residential control systems used in professional installations.
What finishes are available for the Almendra?
The lamp is offered in matte and metallized finishes on its tubular aluminium body. Each finish produces a distinct relationship with ambient light, the matte version absorbing light quietly and the metallized option reflecting it with greater presence.
Who is Patricia Urquiola and what defines her design approach?
Patricia Urquiola is a Madrid-born, Milan-based designer whose practice spans furniture, lighting, interiors, and architecture.
