OK Floor Lamp by Flos - Futuristic Reinterpretation of an Industrial Design Icon
The "OK" lamp by Flos, designed by German designer Konstantin Grcic, is a futuristic interpretation of a historic model, the 1971 Parentesi lamp by Achille Castiglioni and Pio Manzù. Parentesi revolutionized its time by being completely mobile and received the "Compasso d'Oro" in 1979. The OK lamp preserves Parentesi's original idea by creating a light source that slides vertically from floor to ceiling and rotates 360° on its axis. It replaces the incandescent bulb with an ultra-thin LED panel that provides functional, glare-free lighting. The diffuser disc is mounted on a varnished metal body, rotating 360° and pivoting on its axis. It moves from floor to ceiling along a steel cable. The black electrified cable simply plugs into a floor socket, eliminating electrical stress on the ceiling. The OK lamp also has a touch switch.
Learn more about the designers
Konstantin Grcic, renowned designer, designed the Mayday portable lamp taking inspiration from the lamps used by car mechanics. This no-frills lamp is equipped with a hook for easy attachment under the hood of a car. Grcic, a defender of "re-design", took a simple product, the construction hand lamp, and adapted it for domestic use. His goal was to update the design by adding a touch of contemporary irony, thus transforming something well-known into something unknown.
