Emi
The Emi collection stems from Erwan Bouroullec's mission to bring professional quality into lighting for domestic and hospitality settings. Proprietary Flos technology has allowed the creation of a series of compact luminaires equipped with a patented anti-glare optical unit for the utmost visual comfort.
"The Emi light is a new lighting expression that combines several invisible sources to create a paradoxical experience: light from shadow. We really like the intriguing contrast of the Emi light, which combines a deep, dark matt body that appears to be a void with powerful invisible sources that provide efficient and effective illumination to both the ceiling and the floor. Emi is a silhouette made of shadow that provides light."

The shadow that casts a light
Even when on, EMI remains mysterious. The space is illuminated to magnificent visual effect without revealing the source as the light emerges from the central body and never directly engages the eye. The result is an extremely comfortable lighting solution.
Bringing professional quality into your home
Thanks to the unique patented optical solution, Emi controls the exit angles of the light without altering the high efficiency and incredible versatility of the product.

Multiple versions, the same unrivalled visual comfort
Available in two versions – floor and table – Emi operates at a sophisticated level of technology while presenting in a poetic form adapted to contemporary living.
EMI on the Floor and Table
Emi Floor
The floor version seems to float in the air, disencumbered by a stem that connects to the base. The two-way lighting offered by this model is highly adapted to contemporary life: the upper light is powerful enough to illuminate the entire space without dazzling, thanks to a specific beam conformation. The lower light is soft and subdued, perfect for use with other sources such as a television or appliance. The table version operates in the same way but is smaller in size and fits perfectly on any horizontal surface.
Emi Table
The table version works similarly to the floor version, it is small in size and fits perfectly and discreetly on any horizontal surface."
A sculptural colour palette
The palette of available colours was commissioned specifically by Erwan Bouroullec, enveloping EMI design in four stylish shades that add a magical, sculptural presence to this “architectural reed”.
Handcrafted cast iron base
The technological heart of Emi combines with an exquisitely crafted base made of cast iron. Imperfections present on the surface of the base are the result of a manual production process that makes each product unique.
Sustainable and Future-proof design
Spare parts are easily available to facilitate maintenance or replacement of the lens units. Each optical unit can be replaced individually for ease of maintenance, while the absence of glues and soldering simplifies disassembly and the proper disposal of individual parts at the end of product life.
