FLOS Superloon Floor Lamp in Black by Jasper Morrison

About the Item

The serene, harmonious glow of the moon inspired this innovative and first-of-its-kind design from artist Jasper Morrison. Using revolutionary Edge Lighting Technology, the Superloon combines maximum performance and efficiency with visual comfort. This striking floor lamp includes a Dim-to-Warm function that responds to adjustments in intensity: As it dims, light transitions from a colder blue to a warmer tone, as with a well-loved filament lamp. The Superloon provides direct light. Its painted or chrome-plated aluminum body features a metal spinning head, die-cast joints, and an extruded stem. The diffuser is silk-screened PMMA (Polymethyl methacrylate). The light source is Edge Lighting, and there is an optical switch sensor on the stem that enables the warm tone dimming function. The stem includes the Soft Touch sensor, which guarantees a fluid and precise control of light flow with a simple and natural touch of the hand. The power cord is 250 centimeters long. There is a plug-in power supply with interchangeable plugs. Inspiration behind the design: It was a few years ago that Piero Gandini introduced Jasper Morrison to the innovative use of LED technology that became known as “Edge Lighting.” Morrison was inspired by the way it allowed him to send light sideways and how, when incorporated into the edge of a flat composite disc of translucent white material, it gave the appearance of a flat white disc. “Superloon is the answer to the question of what to do with this intriguing technology,” says Morrison. “Mounting the disc on a gyroscopic axis allows the light to be [sent] in infinite directions. The light it gives out is broad and diffused but can be dimmed to a soft glow.” This item is compatible only in the United States.

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.
