The Flos Seki-Han Floor Lamp, originally designed by Tobia Scarpa in 1963 and reissued in 2025, embodies the designer’s mastery of craftsmanship and technical precision. The lamp’s structure consists of two elegantly curved vertical blades of ash wood, joined by polished chromed fittings, rotating around a central tubular light source. This innovative mechanism allows the user to modulate the direction and diffusion of light, creating a dynamic interplay between direct and indirect illumination. Even when nearly closed, the lamp emits a narrow ribbon of light, lending the piece a subtle and poetic character.

The refined composition combines natural wood with industrial materials, a raw black iron base and chrome detailing, reflecting Scarpa’s balance between tradition and innovation. Equipped with a custom dimmable linear LED light source, Seki-Han can also accommodate standard T8 LED tubes, offering flexibility and longevity. Named after a Japanese rice dish served on celebratory occasions, the lamp evokes the same spirit of ceremony and craftsmanship, transforming light into a tactile, living presence. Ideal for architectural interiors or contemplative corners, the Seki-Han Floor Lamp captures the timeless dialogue between material and light that defines Flos’ design legacy.
