The rain fell, fell for days, months, years… Everything disappeared, animals, plants, problems, designers, even the angels had wet feathers. In the dense night, we thought we could see glimmers, then lights, then bright flashes. It was the Flos lamps, all the way from Italy. They had adapted, they were waterproof. They were no longer surviving, they were living for the sole, utmost happiness of the phosphorescent amoebas. A miracle.

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.
