Story
Konstantin Grcic
Black Flag was designed by Konstantin Grcic for Flos. It sits between wall fixture and centrepiece: extended, it carries light into the heart of a room, and folded back it is a stark, sculptural presence. Closed, it recalls the flag that gave it its name; open, it becomes a focal point.
Grcic's design philosophy is founded on industrial rigour, usability and accessibility, and he approaches design as a process of questioning. The lamp is designed to take up minimum space and give maximum illumination.
