About FLOS
FLOS is an Italian lighting manufacturer founded in 1962 in Merano, Italy by Dino Gavina, Cesare Cassina, and Arturo Eisenkeil, taking its name from the Latin word for flower. The company hired brothers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni as its first designers, and their Arco floor lamp, Taccia table lamp, and Toio lamp became fixtures of postwar Italian design. FLOS later collaborated with Philippe Starck, Jasper Morrison, Marcel Wanders, Patricia Urquiola, and Michael Anastassiades, and is now part of the Flos B&B Italia Group owned by Investindustrial. Headquarters remain in Bovezzo, near Brescia. Supreme collaborated with FLOS on an Arco-style floor lamp.
