IC Floor Lamp
Made by Flos
Designed by Michael Anastassiades
Michael Anastassiades designed the IC collection in 2014 around a single, quiet idea: the suspended moment in contact juggling when a sphere appears to float, weightless, between the hands. That tension between rest and motion gives the IC Floor Lamp its character.
A hand-blown opaline glass sphere sits at the end of a slender, precisely proportioned steel arm. The relationship between the two forms is careful and considered, a study in balance rather than ornamentation. The sphere diffuses light evenly, casting a warm and unassertive glow. Nothing competes for attention.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the inspiration behind the Flos IC collection?
Michael Anastassiades drew from the practice of contact juggling, specifically the moment when a sphere appears perfectly still despite being in motion. That sense of arrested equilibrium is the conceptual foundation of the IC series.
What type of glass is used in the IC Floor Lamp?
The shade is a hand-blown opaline glass sphere, chosen for its ability to diffuse light softly and evenly without visible hot spots. The opaline finish gives the sphere a luminous, almost weightless quality.
What finish options are available for the IC Floor Lamp?
The steel structure is available in three finishes: matte black, brass-plated, and chrome-plated. Each finish shifts the lamp's presence in a space, from understated to reflective.
