Designed by Michael Anastassiades, this IC Lighting set brings an inviting opulence to your home. Part of a much admired series of lights from Flos that explore balance, each of these designs take inspiration from a jugglers act and capture a unique take on the beauty of a balancing act. The mesmerising IC F1 Floor Lamp, with its striking profile, makes for a statement piece and features a mouth-blown sphere balanced upon the edge of the brushed brass rod. The perfect companion for a lounge chair or sofa, illuminating a cosy reading corner. Also part of the set, each of the two IC C/W1 Wall Lights can be mounted on both walls and ceilings, cascading beautiful light onto the ground below. Within this design, the mouth-blown sphere appears as if it is dangling from the brass frame. Completing the set is the captivating IC T1 High Table Lamp, featuring the same classic mouth-blown sphere but on this design it suspends high on the brass frame, appearing as though it is balancing on the tilted edge. The illumination of the Floor lamp and Table lamp is completely customisable as they both come with a dimmer switch on the power cord. Each of these lights will combine to capture the attention of guests and become a conversational talking point whilst providing ambience to the corners of your home.
