Flos launch Smithfield-inspired lamp

Morrison reveals that his inspiration came from looking at the lights in London’s Smithfield meat market: “I’ve always liked the industrial and functional character of these lights, and wanted to make a project out of them, looking for some way of making use of their efficiency in delivering light, and the forms themselves which are so much a part of the good atmosphere of industrial spaces”.

By giving the design the name of this physical location, Morrison not only pays tribute to it, but asserts that Smithfield is a modern restyling of a very well-known and popular shape.

Smith¬field is available in painted glossy black or white.
