Frequently Asked Questions

What makes CicloItalia Flex different from the original CicloItalia?

The original CicloItalia references vintage bicycle headlights as a single, rounded form. The Flex version replaces that with elongated, directional spotlights on flexible arms, allowing independent adjustment of each light point while retaining the signature brass and glass lens detailing.

Can the light points on the CicloItalia Flex be aimed independently?

Yes. Each of the three spotlights is mounted on a flexible brass arm, allowing each head to be repositioned individually for task lighting, accent lighting, or ambient wash depending on the setting.

What finishes are available for the CicloItalia Flex Floor Lamp?

The metal structure is available in black or white, with brass used consistently for the flexible arms and glass lens rims regardless of the body finish chosen.

Where are Catellani & Smith lamps manufactured?

All Catellani & Smith lighting is handcrafted at the atelier in Grassobbio, near Bergamo in northern Italy, where Enzo Catellani founded the studio in 1989.

Is the CicloItalia Flex suitable for contract or hospitality projects?

Its adjustable, multi-point output and sculptural silhouette make it well suited to hospitality, gallery, and high-end residential settings where both directed light and visual presence are required. Specification inquiries are handled directly for contract quantities.
