Workmates is a collection of modern luminaires created by Flos Architectural for workspaces. They include suspension, ceiling, track and floor solutions, all made from flattened and rounded aluminum extrusions with customized glare-free lenses and advanced lighting technology for maximum comfort. The light is emitted both up and downwards, providing even and glare-free lighting towards the worktop. LED modules illuminate upwards to balance light contrast and enhance visual comfort for a pleasant work environment.

Ronan Bouroullec has designed a new collection of lights for Flos called Céramique. The collection features three table lamps with a ceramic body and diffuser, finished with a lead-free crystalline lacquer. Each lamp has a base, stem, and cap, and the position of the cap can be adjusted to change the type of illumination. The lamps are characterized by their connecting blade between the base and diffuser. The three configurations create different luminous flux for different functions.

The down version is for focused light, the side version illuminates walls or corners, and the up version creates soft, indirect ambient lighting. The collection emphasizes the materiality and craftsmanship of the ceramics. Ronan Bouroullec has utilized his experience with ceramics to create a contemporary and essential design for Céramique.

The ‘Baggy’ lighting collection, designed by Paola Navone for Contardi, exudes a casual and playful vibe, reminiscent of oversized pants which served as its namesake. Each lamp in the Baggy series is made up of individual modules of various sizes, allowing for complete creative freedom when assembling them. The satin polycarbonate diffuser features an irregular appearance, resembling a crumpled paper tube.

Meanwhile, Paola Navone introduces soft textile cords to blend with the brand‘s ‘archi-decorative stylistic code,’ acting as a connective element for the table and floor versions while supporting the suspended version. The collection’s uniqueness lies in its organic shape, within which a custom LED source emits light in a ‘magical and unexpected way.’

‘Baggy is the result of an irreplicable alchemy between our way of designing and Contardi,’ says Paola Navone. ‘In a very special and pertinent way, Contardi has fostered the aptitude for imperfection in our design approach, accepting an interpretation of the company’s rigorous essence, in a project of lamps of ephemeral balance and an air of irony.’ Baggy by Paola Navone at Euroluce | image © designboom
