Tip of the Tongue
After more than a decade of shared projects, the relationship between Flos and Michael Anastassiades enters a new phase. Flos welcomes an extensive selection of the designer’s lighting portfolio, previously developed under his eponymous brand. Tip of the Tongue marks the beginning of this new chapter.
A creative partnership spanning more than a decade
Flos and Michael Anastassiades have explored lighting design together since 2011. Their collaboration has given rise to collections that have become landmarks of contemporary lighting design, from String Lights and IC Lights to Captain Flint, Arrangements, winner of the Compasso d’Oro in 2020, and Coordinates. Today, the partnership enters a new phase as Flos welcomes into its universe the lighting portfolio developed and distributed by the Michael Anastassiades brand over the past twenty years, beginning with three designs. Flos will reinterpret and engineer the designs as they join the catalogue, while preserving their formal language, expressive qualities and original design vision.
On the edge of form
An opaline glass sphere appears to roll around the base of Tip of the Tongue, creating an intriguing visual illusion. Poised as if about to fall, the sphere evokes the sensation of having a word on the tip of your tongue but being unable to retrieve it from memory.
Materials and finishes
Mouth-blown opaline glass diffuser with a base in galvanised metal or glazed ceramic, available in six finishes: 24K Gold, Black Nickel, Green, Red, Blue and Grey.
