First debuted in 1969, Mario Bellini named the Flos Chiara Table Lamp, after the Italian expression, ‘to shed light’.
50 years after its inception, the highly contemporary Chiara lamp is reworked and reimagined. An icon of lighting architecture, created from a single piece of mouldable metal, Chiara is now available in a range of sizes and finishes. A stainless steel cut-out, wrapped and closed via riveted hooks houses the bulb, whilst a large open shade, tilted at 45 degrees acts as a reflector of light. Bellini designed the body and shade to act as an apparatus that would gracefully guide the light into its surroundings, casting a gentle illumination from a bedside or dressing table.
