"I came across a YouTube clip of a contact juggler. He has these spinning spheres moving around, and they are spinning so perfectly, you can’t even see them move — it looks perfectly balanced and perfectly still. This was my starting point." Michael Anastassiades, the designer of Flos iC Globe Lights.
Note: some of the items introduced in this article are no longer available at Sparks; the full range of Flos Lights is here.
This collection explores balance. There is a series of lights: table lights, wall lights, ceiling pendants, and ceiling-mounted lights which take as their basic form a sphere that is perfectly balanced on the edge of a rod.
As for their model number/codes, the initials IC come from the codes that English police use to define the perceived ethnicity of a person they stop in the street when reporting back to the station.
IC1 means white person or Northern European type, IC2 means Mediterranean European/Hispanic, IC3 indicates an African / Afro-Caribbean person, and so on, so this is a playful story to define the different designs.
