INTERNI, the Magazine of Interiors and Contemporary Design, and FLOS joined to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the magazine, for a good cause.

FLOS presents the set of 2 String Light lamps,design Michael Anastassiades (2014) in a conical version with wallrose, white finish and decoration by American artist Shantell Martin. 

«Every time I take the train, I sit by the window and watch the series of perfectly parallel strings connecting the pylons, as we move at high speed. I love the way they divide the landscape and how spheres are occasionally beaded through the wires at random intervals. I also love how, in Mediterranean cultures, strings of lights are stretched between posts to mark an outdoor space for an evening party in a village square. And finally, I love how human ingenuity works around problems created by everyday things in the house (like switches and power points) that others have chosen to position where we don’t want them.» This is how Michael Anastassiades, a Cypriot designer based in London and born in 1967, describes the Spring Lights ceiling lamp. A system of tensors gives volume and three-dimensionality to the form outlined by this lightweight cord that plays with space. Light source: 1 LED Array 2700K – 1980 lm total – CRI90 – 25W, dimmer regulation through Bluetooth Android and Apple application.

This unique and special piece will be displayed in the windows of the showroom of the brand in SoHo from 16 to 20 May, during the New York Design Week.

Interni, in fact, has chosen New York as the place in America to celebrate its 60th anniversary, and the sixty years of Italian Design.
