ok suspension lamp
Design Konstantin Grcic, 2014
Aluminum, steel, polyamide
Made by Flos
"Designing a lamp is no longer limited to working around a given bulb. Today, it means designing the actual bulb or light source. This challenged me to think of Parentesi, a lamp that celebrated the traditional bulb in the most effective and beautiful way. Would it be possible to rethink the Parentesi lamp once more and pass the Manzù-Castiglioni torch on to the future?" -Konstantin Grcic
A pendant light that feels as at home in an industrial space as it would in museum exhibit: The OK Light plays with expectations to provide functional light that is surprising and easily directed. It features an ultra-flat LED surface with edge-lighting technology that can be directed over 360 degrees. The electronic components are housed in a small rectangular box that slides vertically over a steel cable tensioned between the ceiling and the floor, balanced by a cone-shaped counterweight. The OK Light features a soft-touch switch.

Konstantin Grcic
Konstantin Grcic's designs are widely described as pared down, simple & essential. His take on minimalism uniquely functions on human terms and combines formal strictness with considerable mental acuity & humor.
Design and innovation have been the two main pillars of Flos lighting since 1962. Taking care of the Planet and inhabitants through beautiful and sustainable lighting is a third new pillar.
