Maker: Flos
Designed: 1962
Material: Enamelled steel, chromed stem, exposed transformer
Dimensions: Height adjustable 158 to 195 cm
Head diameter: 17 cm
Quantity: One only
Condition: Very good
Well kept. Minimal wear, the result of careful use, and nothing that takes away from the piece.
A car headlamp on a fishing-rod stem, with the transformer sitting exposed at the base as a counterweight. The Castiglioni brothers built the first one out of found parts in 1962 and Flos still make it the same way.
Nothing is hidden: the cable runs up the outside through fishing eyelets, the transformer is the ballast, and the stem telescopes so you set the height by hand. It throws light straight at the ceiling, which is why one lamp lights a whole room.
Photographed honestly, in natural light, exactly as it is. No surprises when your new favourite thing arrives.
Everything we sell is 100% authentic. No reproductions, no replicas.
