Fostering the disassembly

Flos supports the research on disassembly and maintainability processes, that are facilitated by modularity. Since 2020 a new developing process has been adopted to allow the complete disassembly of new products.

• The new Bellhop Floor lamp by Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby, for example, can be entirely disassembled in all its elements: the concrete base, the aluminium stem, the glass reflector and the electronic components. This allows the replacement of parts and the product maintenance.
• To facilitate the disassembly, starting from 2021 the new products will be designed to be assembled without the use of glues.
