The Vision

An architect and designer who worked for years with Ettore Sottsass, Johanna Grawunder brings a vibrant, architectural sensibility to her work. Her 'Wan' (Japanese for 'bowl') series for FLOS is a study in containment—a simple vessel of light. She often plays with the contrast between a minimal exterior and a colored interior, creating light that feels held and cherished.

Wan Downlight

Downlights

A bowl of light. "Wan" means bowl in Japanese, and this fitting is exactly that—a vessel containing light. It is an exploration of simplicity and containment, offering a friendly, approachable aesthetic compared to purely technical downlights.

Wan Spot

Johanna Grawunder

Wan Spot

Spotlights

A spotlight with a softer soul. Wan Spot moves away from the aggressive "tech" look of most projectors, offering a rounded, friendly form inspired by a Japanese bowl ("Wan"). It provides directional light with a domestic, approachable character.

Wan Suspension

Johanna Grawunder

Wan Suspension

Suspension

Simplicity suspended. The Wan ("bowl") pendant is a minimalist vessel of light. With its clean lines and glare shield, it directs light downwards in a focused pool, making it perfect for clustering over counters or hanging solo in smaller spaces.

Wan Wall/Ceiling

Johanna Grawunder

Wan Wall/Ceiling

Wall/Ceiling

A bowl of light on the surface. The Wan Wall/Ceiling fixture provides a direct, focused light from a friendly, rounded form. It is a simple, effective solution for adding localized illumination to corridors, bathrooms, or reading nooks.
