A stem, and on top, or below, as if in a balancing act, a glass sphere that projects outwards in a delicate equilibrium at the end of a slanting baton. Apparently unstable, the opalescent ball looks as though it might slip away as if it were the apparatus in a juggler’s act in which sphere and baton are magically balanced.

Last Order is the evolution of a table lamp originally designed by Michael Anastassiades for the dining room of the legendary Four Seasons restaurant in New York, which reopened in 2018 after relocating, with interiors designed by Brazilian architect Isay Weinfeld. From its original bespoke version, the lamp has now become part of Flos’ decorative catalogue in four luxury finishes.

The Copycat table lamp comprises an aluminium sphere machined from solid and then gold-coated with 24K gold and the hand-blown opal glass diffuser. The lamp has a LED light source with a dimmer switch on the power cable. Available in Gold, Copper, Black Nickel, Polished Aluminium finish.

Arrangements is a modular system of geometric light elements that can be combined in different ways, creating multiple compositions into individual chandeliers. Each unit simply attaches onto the previous one as if resting, balancing perfectly as part of a glowing chain.

Minimalist and elegant design blends perfectly in the Captain Flint light collection. The “invisible” system that keeps the conical form balanced on the thin tubular structure makes it possible to direct the diffused light, in a practical and simple way, in any position, combining formal rigour with functionality.

Minimal and poetic, like a pencil line drawn in the air, String Lightsare both conceptually simple and bold at the same time. Anastassiades has always sought the primordial and original essence of forms and materials. His designs move towards abstraction, in a search for purity that pursues an exercise of stripping away, taking objects and materials back their original dimension of bareness.
