Started by Dino Gavina and Cesare Cassina, Flos began to reinvent lighting from its conception. Experimenting with innovative materials such as special cocoon fabric developed by the US Army as a protective packing material, Flos and its cohort of designers have succeeded in transforming modern lighting. Expertly crafting each light from its base in Brescia, Flos has become synonymous with quality design and innovation. 

Awarded its first, but not last, Compasso d'Oro in 1979 for the Parentesi Suspension Light by Achille Castiglioni and Pio Manzù, Flos has also won countless other awards for its innovative lighting and skilled craftsmanship. An industry leader, today Flos continues to manufacture icons such as the Bellhop Table Lamp, the Arco Floor Lamp, the Snoopy Table Lamp, and the Gatto Table Lamp, as it collaborates with other contemporary talents.
