— FLOS

FLOS was founded in 1962 by Dino and Cesare Cassina in Merano, Italy. In order to maintain this philosophy, the company moved to Brescia, where the new headquarters served as a think tank for new designs and ideas. In 1963, Sergio Gandini became the company's managing director and was to prove a decisive figure in the history of FLOS.

It only took a few years for FLOS to position itself as the most innovative and revolutionary Italian lighting brand. After numerous products were part of the Italian exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1972, FLOS became internationally known.
