Flos Pochette Up LED Wall Light by Rodolfo Dordoni

About the Item

Rodolfo Dordoni's work draws inspiration from a Minimalist aesthetic: like Rodolfo Dordoni’s most beloved designs, the Pochette makes good use of less material to create a piece that is decidedly efficient. The Pochette Up Light, comes with dimming accessability, and in three color option. A Rodolfo Dordoni design is never quite what is expected: The Pochette, meaning “clutch,” shines with a graceful indirect light that flows upwards. The structure is pressure die-cast Zamak allow, and is available in a matte grey or bronze liquid paint or a chrome-plated finish. The molded steel, galvanized white wall attachment contains the wall attachment system as well as the electrical devices. The Pochette has a single dimmable light source in the traditional recessed series, and satin-finish Pyrex glass protection. ADA Compliant.

Imaginative lighting is a longtime hallmark of modern Italian design. Following in the footsteps of innovative companies such as Artemide and Arteluce, the company FLOS brought a fresh aesthetic philosophy to the Italian lighting field in the 1960s, one that would produce several of the iconic floor lamp, table lamp and pendant light designs of the era.

FLOS — Latin for “flower” — was founded in the northern town of Merano in 1962 by Cesare Cassina (of the famed Cassina furniture-making family) and Dino Gavina, a highly cultured businessman who believed that artistic ideas espoused in postwar Italy could inform commercial design. The two enlisted brothers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni as their first designers.

Even before FLOS was formally incorporated, the Castiglionis gave the firm one of its enduring successes with the Taraxacum pendant and associated designs made by spraying an elastic polymer on a metal armature. (George Nelson had pioneered the technique in the United States in the early 1950s.) For other designs, the brothers found inspiration in everyday objects. Suggestive of streetlights, their Arco floor lamp, with its chrome boom and ball-shaped shade sweeping out from a marble block base, has become a staple of modernist decors. Designing for FLOS since 1966, Tobia Scarpa has also been inspired by the commonplace. His folded-metal Foglio sconces resemble a shirt cuff; his carved marble Biagio table lamp looks like a jai alai basket.

In 1973, FLOS purchased Arteluce, the company founded in 1939 by Gino Sarfatti, and it continues to produce his designs. In recent decades, FLOS has contracted work from several noted designers, including Marcel Wanders and Jasper Morrison. As instantly recognizable as they are, many FLOS designs remain accessible. While FLOS lighting is the essence of modernity, its sleek, subtle designs can be used to strike a sculptural note in even traditional spaces.
