265 Chromatica

Originally designed in 1973, Flos introduces a new, colorful edition of 265, a suspended wall lamp designed by Paolo Rizzatto. This new version - for which the word Chromatica has been added to the name - sees color as a design tool rather than a mere decorative element. The palette, consisting of three primary colors, thus becomes the instrument that clarifies each lamp's function. Rizzatto's original design envisaged an association between each element of the 265 and a primary color according to its function: The hat, the most important element, was red. The weight was yellow. The connecting arm was blue. Almost fifty years, the iconic wall lamp is re-introduced in new colors celebrating the architect's original idea.
