Flos Romeo Moon

The Romeo Moon S is part of a range of suspension, floor and table lights from Flos. Designed by the inimitable Philippe Starck the lights demonstrate the near ceaseless pleasure he takes in hidden detail. It could be argued that the internal diffuser in the Romeo Moon S does not necessarily need to be made from acid etched borosilicate glass but that is the whole point, it is there to be discovered. Only visible from directly below the diffuser is really only noticed if you look for it. It has a purpose other than being something worth finding as it softens and focuses the not inconsiderable light, giving a beautiful steady presence. The rest of the light is usually what is noticed first, the heavy pressed glass shade hanging from three slim steel wires and the relaxed cable lit by the up light. The Romeo Moon S has a sister light the Romeo Soft S which has the same lovely details but a pleated fabric shade instead of ribbed glass. Both lights come in two sizes the S1 and the S2, a bulb is not included.
