Erwan Bouroullec

"Light is a building material."

Erwan Bouroullec

The Vision

Erwan Bouroullec's solo work for FLOS, such as the 'Emi', focuses on the interaction between light and shadow. He treats the light fixture not just as a source, but as a creator of depth. Using fluted forms and deep optics, he ensures that the physical object dissolves into the lighting effect it produces, crafting pillars of light that define the architecture around them.

The Collection (6 Items)

Aim

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec

Aim

Suspension

A jungle of light. Aim rejects the idea that a lamp must hang straight and centered. Inspired by nature, its long cables allow the heads to be draped like vines, creating a customizable canopy of light that can grow and adapt to the space it inhabits.

Belt System

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec

Belt System

Systems

A harmonious contradiction: the softness of leather meets the rigidity of architecture. Belt is a lighting system that loops, hangs, and rises like a functional strap. It conceals the electrics within fine leather, turning the power cable into a luxurious design element that supports the light bars.

Emi Ceiling

Erwan Bouroullec

Emi Ceiling

Wall/Ceiling

Sculpting with shadow. Emi is not just a light source; it is a creator of atmosphere. Its unique fluted body and deep-set optics create a play of light and shadow on the ceiling itself, turning the fixture into an architectural column of light.

Emi Floor

Erwan Bouroullec

Emi Floor

Floor

A column of shadow and light. Emi Floor stands like a classical pillar in the room, but one made of negative space and deep optics. It casts light upwards to the ceiling and downwards to the floor, creating a zone of quiet, glare-free illumination around it.

Emi Table

Erwan Bouroullec

Emi Table

Table

A miniature monument. Emi Table brings the sculptural, fluted form of the Emi family to the desktop. It provides a contained, sophisticated pool of light, perfect for intimate dining or focused work without the harshness of a direct bulb.

Luce Orizzontale

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec

Luce Orizzontale

Suspension

A horizon of glass. This sculptural suspension lamp is composed of interlocking cast glass modules held by an aluminum spine. It combines industrial assembly with the bespoke, tactile quality of glass, casting a textured, aquatic light across the room.
