How do you distinguish a sustainable object from a non-sustainable one? It’s not always easy to tell at first glance, especially when we have a lamp with a reduced size and impeccable lines.
Oplight, by Flos is a future-proof and timeless light, created by long-time collaborator Jasper Morrison. An exercise in simplicity, it continues along the theme of Super Normal that runs throughout all Jasper Morrison’s work, the Oplight shows us that a technically advanced product can be made with respect to the environment.
With a shell made of die-cast aluminium - a lightweight, long-lasting material that is easy to recycle. No glue has been used. The colour consists of a powder coating, which does not require solvents, and the LED source has a lifetime of more than 50,000 hours.
Flos are committed to both timeless design, and sustainability, for the two go hand in hand. Their sustainability belief is, “ Flos is deeply convinced that the creation of light through the conception and the design of new lighting solutions is an act of profound responsibility.”
