AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Flos 265 Small – Paolo Rizzatto | Icon of Italian design
Authentic icon of Italian design, Flos 265 Small, designed by Paolo Rizzatto, stems from the idea of bringing light where it is needed through a minimal, technical, yet strongly expressive structure.
Compact version of the famous 265, the lamp features a long swiveling arm in black-painted steel, balanced by a counterweight that ensures stability and balance. The system allows the light source to be oriented and to illuminate even at a considerable distance from the wall mounting point.
The adjustable reflector enables precise light direction, making the 265 Small particularly suitable above a dining table, a desk, a work surface, or in a living area.
The black finish enhances the architectural character of the structure, turning the lamp into a true graphic mark on the wall. When not used solely as a light source, the 265 Small becomes an integral part of the environment, thanks to its sculptural presence and the recognizability of the project.
An emblematic Paolo Rizzatto project for Flos, uniting functionality, engineering and formal research in a lamp that is still highly relevant today.
