Contemporary minimalism meets classical form in this Flos Bespoke lamp, a commission to Michael Anastassiades for the luxury Italian leather-goods house Valextra. The lamp is repeated in seven identical examples within the rigorous John Pawson– designed interiors of Valextra’s Milan flagship on Via Manzoni. Hearkening to the ingenuity and elegance of ancient Greek architecture, Valextra merges modern design with advanced technical mastery.

Vertical LED rods join around a central base to form a freestanding lamp that recalls the geometric parity of platonic forms and the stately fluted columns of the Parthenon.

A symbol of timeless beauty, the lamp’s illuminated columns bring abstraction and clarity to an age-old motif. The freestanding pillars come with either ceiling hard-wired or plug-in options. A harmonic use of negative space belies the Valextra lamp’s image of structural solidity, making it compelling to use in multiples, so as to form an ethereal setting or to punctuate and structure space. The Valextra lamp presents an architectural lighting solution with enduring and monumental style.
