Catellani & Smith narrates its Storie di Luce in a unique volume that captivates its ‘readers’
A book without pages, an original piece that is able to illuminate the bookshelf, accentuating the details of the books. Storie di Luce is, in fact, Catellani & Smith’s new rechargeable battery-operated lamp that replicates the format of the company’s most recent catalogues. The tan-coloured cover creates an elegant contrast with the spine, made of Setalux® yarn in a brilliant magenta shade. The spine displays the volume’s title, hot stamped and finished in gold colour, just like the brand logo featured on the cover.
Inside Storie di Luce, the pages are replaced by a metal structure and by a brass flex with a copper rod that you can bend, to adjust the light beam. Thanks to the absence of cables, this new lamp can be placed anywhere, among a collection of books or even individually. The magic of light happens thanks to the blue bookmark, which has been transformed into a switch. By gently pulling the cord, the light of Storie di Luce turns on and off to start or conclude a pleasant evening of reading.
Storie di Luce is available in a limited quantity until stock runs out.

– Flos illuminated ‘The Reading Room’ by Formafantasma at the Stockholm Furniture Fair –
Flos, has collaborated with Formafantasma and Stockholmsmässan last February on the occasion of Stockholm Furniture Fair, the largest and most important meeting place for furniture- and lighting design and interior architecture in Sweden.
Honouring its long-lasting relationship with the studio founded by Italian designers Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin – Guests of Honor at this year’s show, Flos illuminated The Reading Room, a site-specific installation designed by the duo for the Entrance Hall. A clean, impressive array of iconic WireLine pendant lamps in a forest green finish perfectly match the space design concept.
The meaningful synergy between Flos and Formafantasma – based on shared values, commitment and research – has been expressed through the years not only in product design but also in collaborations for special installations in art and design shows or leading trade fairs, as in the case of The Reading Room: a quiet space where visitors could sit, read and reflect.
