FLOS Kelvin Edge LED Table Lamp in Black by Antonio Citterio

About the Item

The newest addition to the popular Kelvin LED family, the Kelvin Edge offers the innovation and sleek design of the collection in a smaller package—without sacrificing output. Featuring the exclusive Edge Lighting Technology™ from which it takes its name, this table lamp combines efficiency with light intensity and emission magnitude to create the balanced, brilliant glow you’d expect from a much larger light. The Kelvin Edge features an aluminum painted or chromed body with die-cast head, joints, and forks, and extruded arms. Its diffuser’s perimeter is photoengraved polycarbonate (PC) and aluminate. It offers direct light via innovative Edge Lighting Technology, and the optical switch sensor on the lamp’s head provides a three-step dimming function and color temperature adjustment at 2700K or 3200K. The power cord measures 150 cm, and the plug-in power supply includes interchangeable plugs. Inspiration behind the design: Blending an industrial style with the latest technology, the Kelvin Edge proves that “petite” can be unexpectedly powerful. "Products are ever more surprising from a technical standpoint as their size gets smaller and smaller,” says designer Antonio Citterio. “Through highly sophisticated work of miniaturization on the details, [this design] is increasingly aligned with the evolution of aesthetic perception in our time." This item is compatible only in the United States and Canada. For customers located outside of these regions, please inquire for availability in your area.

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.
