Overview
Design by Antonio Citterio with Oliver Löw, 1998.
By FLOS.
The multi-light Lastra 8 is as much design as it is engineering. The lamp body is formed by a rectangular 0.6" transparent tempered glass sheet. Eight pressed glass diffusers with high-temperature resistant white finish operate from within. Power for the fixture is distributed to the light sources through two silkscreening processes: deposition of a highly conductive silver paste, followed by deposition of a protective ceramic paint, with an electronic transformer is secured to the sheet.
Lastra features an injection-molded transparent polycarbonate UL-94 V2 diffuser support and white PPS UL-94 VO lamp holder with aluminum attachment grid. It is suspended from four steel suspension cables and four mechanical, die-cast, polished aluminum ceiling fittings, with built in quick adjustment cord. The 30% fiberglass reinforced polyamide UL-94 V2 wired ceiling fitting is painted gray, injection molded poylcarbonate UL-94 V2 canopy.

FLOS Lighting
FLOS was founded in 1962 are the Italian Lighting Specialists. The very same year FLOS began producing a number of lamps that were to become classics in Italian industrial design. These first lamps were Arco, Relemme, Toio and Taccia — all designed by Achille and Piergiacomo Castiglioni. As a tangible proof of FLOS Lighting's timeless design and technical excellence, these lamps continue to be produced today.
It all started with cocoon . . .
In 1959 Arturo Eisenkeil from Merano, an importer of
cocoon — a spray-on plastic coating produced in the United States - was tracking down possible applications for this new
material. He joined forces with Dino Gavina and Cesare Cassina and set up a company to produce lighting fixtures. This marked the
beginning of the long-standing association in the area of design with the Castiglioni brothers and Tobia Scarpa. The first cocoon
lamps ever created were the offspring of this collaboration: Viscontea, Taraxacum and Gatto by the Castiglioni brothers and
Fantasma by Scarpa.
FLOS moved from Merano to the province of Brescia in 1964: At first to Nave and then to the current premises in Bovezzo. Sergio Gandini became chairman of FLOS in 1965. In 1974, the company became the owner of Arteluce — one of the key Italian companies in the industrial design sector. Gino Sarfatti, an industrialist and designer, is the founder of Arteluce. Several models designed by Sarfatti himself have been incorporated into the product range.
From the very outset, FLOS has been characterized by its high-quality approach to lamp design and production. Many of the numerous lamps designed for the company, first by Achille and Piergiacomo, are undoubtedly some of FLOS Lighting's best-known and most successful products of industrial design. They have won awards and historical critical accolades, and are included in all the most important collections and design museums around the world.
