Stylos Floor Lamp by Achille Castiglioni for Flos, 1984 Italy

Designed in 1984 by Achille Castiglioni for Flos, the Stylos Floor Lamp is a refined expression of Castiglioni’s rational, human-centered design philosophy. The lamp features a tall cylindrical diffuser in opaline glass that emits a soft, even, and atmospheric light, subtly graduating in warmth toward the base and top. Supported by a minimal metal base, Stylos transforms a simple geometric form into an architectural presence, functioning almost like a luminous column within the space. Both sculptural and highly functional, it exemplifies Italian postmodern lighting at its most restrained—designed not to dominate an interior, but to quietly define it through proportion, material, and light quality.
