The latest project by brothers Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec for Flos challenges at least two maxims of lighting design.
The first of these maxims, in terms of ceiling fittings, undoubtedly regard the geometric centrality of the light source: chandeliers must be hung up high, at the intersection of the diagonals in those geometric spaces we call rooms.
However, Aim declares its independence from such reverence to tradition, proposing a system that, while suspended from the ceiling, is freed from any concept of centrality.
The light can be positioned wherever desired, by hooking it up to the electricity supply on the floor via long cables. The second aesthetic and hence behavioural “break-away” regards precisely those long cables.
Anyone who designs lights has always been taught that the cable is a purely functional element, and as such, it should be hidden and used sparingly. An abundance of cable, especially on the ceiling, was seen as a kind of “temporary solution”. Ronan and Erwan overturn this assumption too.
Not only does Aim potentially reject centrality, but it can also proliferate into a forest of cables. Cables that go up and cables that come down; cables with a clear aesthetic function.
The actual reflector is, after all, less important, simply a fruit hanging from any one of the cables, at a height to be gauged, with an angle of inclination that can be altered.
The aim is therefore not just a lamp, but an installation in a nutshell. Despite being a faultless industrial product, it references a philosophy of art more than the philosophy of design. In any case, this is not the first time that the French brothers have surprised us with their “lateral
The LED can be dimmed with a «Triac for Led» dimmer approved by Flos. Flos does not respond in case of wrong.

“Thanks for the follow-up - Received it at 9.30 this morning, all set up and enjoying the beautiful sunny day in it - oh the perks of working from home (Although rain later in the week means I'll be testing out the cover too)!!!
A really great quality and robust product at a great price. I also brought the Fatboy undercover tent, which I've put on, which is amazing and provides some lovely relief from direct sun (just in case you were thinking of stocking it!!) - I may try it out camping too.”
Mr. Mills
