Since its founding in Merano, Italy, in 1962, Flos has long been recognised as a company of excellence, creating innovative and poetic forms of light that surprise and inspire. With an exceptionally rich legacy of timeless icons, the brand is renowned for its ability to combine design and technology with art and culture to powerful effect. Today, operating through four divisions in close synergy—Decorative, Architectural, Outdoor, and Bespoke—Flos continues to honour and carry forward its extraordinary heritage while pursuing the unexpected. The brand manufactures high–end designer lighting and innovative solutions for every living environment, both indoors and outdoors.
At Martin Asbæk Gallery, in the center of Copenhagen, Flos presents NOCTURNE, a site-specific installation designed by Konstantin Grcic to unveil his new lighting collection for the brand. The installation draws inspiration from a scene in Kubrick’s cult film 2001: A Space Odyssey, in which a classical room appears strangely artificial. The floor glows from below, flattening the shadows and creating a calm but unsettling atmosphere. Here, Nocturne is placed in a similar setting: an illuminated floor, with furniture only suggested as faint images on glass. The space appears more imaginary than real. Like the lamps themselves, it exists somewhere between presence and illusion—simple, quiet, and open to interpretation.
