A Collaboration Condensing FLOS's Technical Prowess

FLOS, which has released many iconic masterpieces created by talented designers and proposes creative and innovative lighting, has collaborated with DEDON, an outdoor furniture brand founded by Bobby Dekeyser, who was a promising young goalkeeper for the German professional soccer team Bayern Munich. The result is garden and outdoor lighting with a resort-like ambiance.

The "KTRIBE F3 OUTDOOR" is a large, stylish outdoor floor stand that retains the design and size of the previously released indoor floor stand "KTRIBE F3," but has been made waterproof and weather-resistant for outdoor use.

The mesh shade, with DEDON fiber wrapped around aluminum bars, creates a unique texture that looks beautiful not only outdoors but also as a luxurious interior accent indoors. This new type of floor stand, which creates a high-quality outdoor space through its outstanding design, is worth noting.

Light That Creates a Sophisticated Outdoor Space

"SUPERARCHIMOON OUTDOOR" is the outdoor version of the oversized floor lamp from the "ARCHIMOON" task light series, designed by Philippe Starck. Its commanding presence, exceeding human height, makes it an ideal accent for outdoor spaces. The sharp style with an edge, characteristic of Starck's simplicity, is impressive, and the light emanating from the DEDON fiber is gentle and alluring.

Floor Light Diffusing Beautiful LED Light

The "IPNOS" floor light, with its simple design and lightweight rectangular frame weighing just 0.87kg, is designed by the unit "Rossi & Bianchi" (Nicoletta Rossi and Guido Bianchi). They say, "By stripping away unnecessary elements from traditional lanterns, we arrived at a simple aluminum box. The LED light source harmonizes with the surrounding space, filling it with light."

IPNOS features an anodized extruded aluminum frame with integrated LEDs at the top interior to diffuse light.
