Flos Alternatives for Lighting a Modern Home
Bunch Pendant Light from Research.Lighting
Flos helped define modern lighting with sculptural forms, balanced proportions, and a calm sense of atmosphere. But there are plenty of studios working in the same spirit, each with its own point of view.
Research.Lighting leans into a quiet, handcrafted feel. Their pendants and sconces keep things minimal and warm, letting form and presence stay gentle rather than loud. Tom Dixon brings material drama with brass, mirrored glass, and bold silhouettes that feel closer to sculpture than simple fixtures. Louis Poulsen focuses on soft geometry and layered diffusion, creating lights that shape and soften the room rather than overwhelm it. Moooi adds a playful, imaginative twist with pieces that feel almost storylike, blending design with a touch of fantasy.
All of them share a similar language with Flos. Light as mood. Light as experience.
Good lighting does not compete. It just fits the moment.
