The Flauta collection meets a desire for creation of a ductile, changing project, ideal for contract environments and rooms in the home. Inspired by the pure shapes of organs and flutes, the spotlights in this collection stand out thanks to a small circular reflector that captures and reverberates the light emitted. The cylindrical body of Flauta comes in three different shapes and is further enhanced by two relief textures that combine with the available colours to give more personalisation options.

The company was founded in 1962 by Dino and Cesare Cassina in Merano, Italy. The brand started out as a laboratory for designers and architects, seeking to innovate the lighting industry. In order to retain this philosophy, the company moved to Brescia, where the new headquarters were used as a think tank for new designs and ideas. In 1963, Sergio Gandini became managing director of the firm and would prove to be a crucial personality in FLOS’ history.
It took no more than a few years for FLOS to position themselves as the most innovative and revolutionary Italian lighting brand and after numerous products became part of the Italian exhibition at Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1972, FLOS became internationally renowned.
