About the Item

Noctambule LED dimmable pendant light with bowl shade, created by renowned designer Konstantin Grcic for FLOS, is an innovative lighting system that comes in an array of artful designs. A transparent hand-blown glass cylinder, surrounded on both top and bottom by discrete LED technology, is the foundation of this product. The fixtures built from these units form columns of light at varying heights that illuminate at the intersection between each module. Configurable as a hanging or standing lamp, Noctambule pendant lamp features additional components that allow for numerous options. The cylindrical body is available at a low and high height, and a dome- or cone-shaped head can be selected if a more direct light source is desired. Dimming capabilities can be configured in the power supply unit within the ceiling rose, or as a pedal-operated panel on the power cord. Inspiration behind the design: Inspired by night owls, Noctambule by Konstantin Grcic features a transparent body that almost blends into a room when unlit, but makes its presence known when it illuminates at night. This item is compatible only in the United States. For customers located outside of this region, 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.
