Steelcase announced last week a new partnership with FLOS, an Italian decorative lighting group. The office furniture company plans to start offering a collection of FLOS lighting products throughout the U.S. and Canada in November.
“FLOS offers finely-crafted lighting solutions that can help create inspiring and inviting places to work,” said Allan Smith, Vice President of Global Marketing at Steelcase. “This new relationship helps architects, designers and clients by providing convenient access to a range of compelling design options supported by reliable, commercial distribution at scale.”
Since FLOS was founded in 1962 by Sergio Gandini in Merano, Italy, the company has embraced innovation. FLOS designs are included in many permanent collections of design and art museums around the world.
“FLOS is delighted to work with Steelcase, bringing our lighting designs to one of the great furniture companies in the world and its far-reaching dealer network in North America,” said FLOS USA CEO Jack Schreur. “This new relationship will introduce FLOS lighting to new audiences while meeting a critical need for architects and designers.”
