Konstantin Grcic has created for Flos an extendable wall light that illuminates at a distance of up to 3.5 metres from its frame. Black Flag ushers in a brand-new typology of lamp: wall-mounted, but with a centrepiece function.

"The Black Flag lamp embodies the rebellious spirit of its namesake while also serving as a functional and striking piece of design. Its unique ability to extend up to 3.5 metres from the wall brings light to the heart of any space, while its folded form resembles a sleek and powerful sculpture."
Konstantin Grcic

Simplicity is a choice

Black Flag has been designed to take up minimum space when closed and provide maximum illumination when open. When closed, it resembles not only the flag from which it takes its name but also a minimalist sculpture reminiscent of the Suprematist art movement. When opened, it transforms into an illuminating centrepiece that functions like a pendant.

Revolutionising lighting in the workplace

An extremely discreet and functional lamp conceived for both home and office use, with visual comfort and normative standards for use in the workplace. It casts an even light on all work surfaces with minimum levels of 500 lx. The perfect indirect light to soften the atmosphere and reduce contrasts.

Custom-designed direct lighting

Black Flag is complete with custom-designed direct lighting composed of 42 individual light units on a single board. Each unit features a dedicated roto symmetric lens with a 20º cut-off and a raster that is glossy on the inside for glare control and matt on the outside to match the lamp.

Sustainability

Black Flag’s advanced technological profile goes hand in hand with sustainability, enhanced by the use of highly recyclable aluminium and the absence of glue or welding. The PRO version is also equipped with an Eco mode that adjusts light intensity to the surrounding environment which reduces consumption and extends the life of the lamp.
