Its soft, indirect light and gleaming lotus shape bring harmony to any interior. The 1961 design features two molded brass shells that together form the housing for a 100w bulb. This fior di loto belongs to flos’s early collections and is regarded as a space age icon — futuristic, symmetrical, and technically refined. The pendant lamp echoes the shape of a ufo and emits mainly indirect light through the perforations at the top and bottom.
