Flos IC Lights S2 pendant

The Flos IC Lights S2 is a celebrated pendant lamp designed by Michael Anastassiades in 2014. It is part of the 'IC Lights' collection, which explores the concept of equilibrium and poetic grace through the use of a hand-blown opaline glass sphere that appears to balance precariously on a minimal metal frame. The design was inspired by the movements of a contact juggler, capturing the moment when a ball seems to take on its own life while remaining perfectly still.

Flos, the brand behind this iconic piece, was founded in Merano, Italy, in 1962. It has since established itself as a global leader in high-end decorative and architectural lighting. The decorative core of the brand, which includes the IC collection, is primarily manufactured at its production sites in Bovezzo, Italy. Over the decades, Flos has maintained its legacy by collaborating with renowned designers to create products that are frequently featured in permanent collections of major design museums worldwide.

In terms of ownership, Flos is a founding pillar of the Flos B&B Italia Group (formerly known as Design Holding). As of 2026, the group operates as a massive high-end design conglomerate, managed and owned jointly by investment firms Investindustrial and The Carlyle Group. The group oversees a portfolio of historic design brands including Louis Poulsen, B&B Italia, and Audo Copenhagen, maintaining a focus on European craftsmanship and international luxury markets.
