The lamps iconic ceramic body features a lead- free lacquered crystalline finish that complements its handcrafted surface. White diffuser made of polycarbonate. Céramique combines elegance and craftsmanship with versatile lighting. With a durable design and attention to detail, this collection enhances the beauty of ceramics and promotes energy efficiency.

Flos
For fifty years, Flos has been creating objects of light and igniting generations of dreams. Founded in Merano in 1962 by Dino Gavina and Cesare Cassina, it had a period of strong growth starting in the 1970s: it acquired Arteluce, a historic Italian lighting company, inheriting the designs of Gino Sarfatti, still produced today. In the following decades it absorbed other companies and increasingly expanded the already very rich portfolio of designer lamps. The principles of Flos have always been to identify with the masters of design, to discover new talents, to have technical and technological authority and to integrate into mass culture. Flos has always been a cutting-edge company: experimentation has made it possible to adopt revolutionary materials, such as the cocoon in the past, and more advanced technological solutions, represented today by OLED and sustainable materials.
