The Flos IC 10 Anniversary collection, by Michael Anastassiades, celebrates a decade of refined elegance. Anastassiades' minimalist philosophy explores delicate balance and elemental forms. The iconic spherical diffuser, seemingly suspended on a slender rod, captures a juggler's fleeting grace. This collection is more than light; it's a sculptural statement for sophisticated modern aesthetics. It embodies timeless yet contemporary elegance, a hallmark of Anastassiades' unique contribution to post-minimalist design, where art and function merge.
Exquisite materiality defines the IC 10 Anniversary collection, reflecting Flos’ commitment to craftsmanship. Mouth-blown opaline glass diffusers emit a soft, diffused glow. Structures feature premium brushed brass, polished chrome, or sophisticated black finishes, chosen for tactile richness and enduring beauty. Precision engineering ensures delicate balance and stability. This careful selection of noble materials and artisanal techniques elevates each lamp into an object of lasting value and sublime appeal, integrating form and function flawlessly.
Launched in 2014, the original IC collection swiftly became a design icon. The IC C/W series received a Red Dot Product Design Award in 2014. Michael Anastassiades’ influential work, including IC range pieces, is celebrated globally, featuring in permanent collections like The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), and the Centre Pompidou. The 10 Anniversary edition honors this illustrious legacy, reaffirming the collection's enduring relevance and profound impact on modern lighting design.
The IC 10 Anniversary collection offers versatile architectural integration, transforming spaces with distinctive presence and light quality. As floor lamp, table accent, wall sconce, or pendant, each model casts serene, ambient light, sculpting its surroundings. The diffused glow creates an inviting atmosphere, mitigating harsh shadows. Its comprehensive range ensures seamless adaptability across diverse architectural typologies, from residential settings to public spaces. Its inherent sculptural quality enriches any environment with elegant illumination.
