Steelcase, Flos Lighting Form New Relationship

October 23, 2017

Starting next month, Steelcase will offer the decorative collection of Flos lighting including pendants, sconces, table and floor lamps throughout Canada and the U.S.

“Flos offers finely crafted lighting solutions that can help create inspiring and inviting places to work,” says Allan Smith, Vice President of Global Marketing for Steelcase. “This new relationship helps architects, designers and clients by providing convenient access to a range of compelling design options supported by reliable, commercial distribution at scale.”

Today, people expect different things from their offices. They are seeking environments that make them feel good in addition to supporting the new ways in which they are working. They want reminders of home while still having the privacy, ergonomics and technologies they need to do their best work. Spaces that blend design and materiality without compromising performance can inspire new ways of thinking and fuel creativity, says Steelcase.

Lighting delivers both a productive and emotional purpose. Thoughtful integration of light and space can support different types of work modes such as focus, collaboration or respite. It can also add texture and colour to the environment, helping it to feel more residential and hospitable.“

Flos is delighted to work with Steelcase, bringing our lighting designs to one of the great furniture companies in the world and its far-reaching dealer network in North America,” says Jack Schreur, CEO, Flos USA. “This new relationship will introduce FLOS lighting to new audiences while meeting a critical need for architects and designers.”
