12.9.14 | New York, NY | To top off a successful year of innovative collaborations, FLOS now introduces two new lamps in the US by some of the heaviest hitting designers of the moment.

Philippe Starck’s Chapo mixes retro charm with modern technology to conceive a statement light with dual-functionality. And Marc Newson, who got his start designing household objects for Starck and currently designs with Jonathan Ive and Apple, created Orotund, a modern wall sconce in line with his cool, streamlined aesthetic.

Chapo is an innovative table lamp which doubles as a hat stand. In fact, any hat can be repurposed as its lampshade for varying, one-of-a-kind looks in seconds. But it is Chapo’s modern details that make it stand out. Not only an LED lamp and hat stand, Chapo also has a  sleek base with a USB plugin - a great solution for charging portable devices without searching for an extra outlet. Through easy to use “Soft Touch” technology (the orange dot on the base) users can turn off, on and dim the lamp with the touch of a finger.

Orotund by Marc Newson glows on the wall like a cloud of light or luminous halo. The light floats around Orotund due to an LED light source hidden behind the lamp body, which is made of injection-molded plastic. Newson has a particular flair for round shapes, and has just been named Apple’s newest designer. Available in white, grey or green.
