To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the iconic Mayday lamp, Flos has created a Limited Edition release of 2,020 numbered pieces in special packaging. Featuring a sophisticated die-cast aluminum handle\/hook embossed with the designer\u2019s signature and serial number, Mayday Anniversary represents a highly desirable piece and a unique opportunity for collectors.<\/p>\n
Created by Konstantin Grcic in 1999 and produced by Flos from 2000 onwards, the Mayday lamp is recognized the world over as a little design masterpiece in all its minimal simplicity. An intelligent and versatile light fixture that resembles a workshop lamp, in 2001 it won an ADI Compasso d\u2019Oro Award for its \u201cflexibility of use, with unlimited and easy indoor and outdoor collocations; affordable price; and persuasive formal research into the use of mostly existing components\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI tried to re-define the conventional typologies for a lamp: it is neither a pendant lamp, nor a table or floor lamp, not even a lamp for wall application. Mayday is the emergency call used when you are in trouble at sea, and somehow the lamp offers this idea: it comes in handy whenever you need light.\u201d<\/em> K.G.<\/p>\n Conceived as a universal tool suited to multiple tasks and locations, Mayday features a series of references to functional elements such as a practical handle that incorporates a large rubber On\/Off switch, a hook to suspend the lamp wherever needed, a conical polypropylene diffuser \u2013 a translucent funnel that gives off a warm light \u2013 and two spikes for winding up the five-meter power cord.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Materials: polypropylene, aluminum<\/p>\n Light Source: \u00a0LED 8,5W- E27 – 965lm – 2200-2700K – dimmable<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the iconic Mayday lamp, Flos has created a Limited Edition release of 2,020 numbered pieces in special packaging.
