Once again, the ADI Permanent Design Observatory recognizes Flos products as an expression of the best Italian design in the ‘Design for Lighting’ category, a new chapter to the brand’s long history of awards over the years
SuperWire, the first family of modular lamps designed by Formafantasma for Flos, enter the prestigious ADI Design Index 2025, the yearbook of the best Italian designs produced the previous year, thereby earning a well-deserved nomination for the 2026 edition of the famous ADI Compasso d’Oro award.
SuperWire by Formafantasma is a magical and poetic project, with an essential design but a great stage presence, which recalls the work of the great glass masters of the last century. Developed in floor, table and suspension versions, the collection has sober and timeless elegance, perfect for sophisticated but composed environments: its look evokes that of the lanterns of the past but brought into contemporary times by the quality of the light it emits.
Made up of one or more hexagons of planar glass connected by a polished aluminum element, SuperWire lights up its entire surface thanks to a new source developed by the Flos R&D team: a very thin, flat, soft, flexible LED filament measuring up to one meter, which emits a warm and homogeneous light along its entire length and which can be easily removed for replacement and repair. A unique example in the panorama of LED bulb-less lamps.
