Biagio: the return of a timeless Flos icon

If you love design that blends art, history, and innovation, the new Biagio by Flos is a piece that cannot be missing from your collection. Designed in 1968 by Tobia Scarpa, today it is reissued by Flos as a declaration of absolute style, capable of transcending the traditional concept of a lamp.

In fact, it is not just an object that illuminates, but a true luminous sculpture, a work of art to be lived every day.

Let’s discover Biagio!

Biagio and the choice of materials

What makes Biagio extraordinary is its raw material: a single block of Carrara white marble, carved and shaped with extreme precision until reaching perfect, sinuous forms. Holding its more than 7 kg of weight in your hands means perceiving the solidity and importance of an object that goes far beyond a simple piece of furniture.

Every detail tells the story of a meticulous search for proportion and harmony, the result of Tobia Scarpa’s vision and Italian artisanal excellence. When you turn it on, the marble reveals its innermost soul: natural veins emerge in ever-changing plays of light, turning the lamp into a unique and unrepeatable piece.

Since marble is alive, authentic, and impossible to replicate, no Biagio is ever the same.

Each person, therefore, can bring home a one-of-a-kind creation.

Biagio: a lamp or a sculpture?

The Biagio lamp does not simply provide light. Its sculptural and anthropomorphic forms make it an object suspended between art and functionality. This is a lamp that does not hide, nor tiptoe into its surroundings: it stands as the absolute protagonist of the space.

You look at it and realize it is not merely a source of light, but a presence—a piece that converses with those who observe it, transforming the perception of the room itself.

Its design is strikingly contemporary, despite having been conceived more than fifty years ago. It proves that true design never ages, but rather renews itself over time.

Biagio Onyx Edition: the rarest gem

To celebrate this reissue, Flos presents a super-limited series of just 100 pieces: the Biagio Onyx Edition. Made of honey-colored onyx, this rare and precious variant is also carved from a single block of natural stone, giving it warm, vibrant shades and an even more intense luminosity.

Owning one of these 100 Biagio Onyx Editions means possessing not only a lamp, but also a fragment of design history. Availability is extremely limited and bound to run out quickly, so if you wish to enrich your space with an exclusive masterpiece, don’t wait too long.

There will be no second edition, and each piece is destined to become a collector’s item.

Where to place Biagio

The Biagio lamp deserves to be placed where it can fully express its dramatic impact. Picture it on a low table in the living room, becoming the focal point of the environment, or on a console in the entryway, ready to welcome guests with a warm and sophisticated aura. Even on a designer desk it proves perfect, as it not only illuminates but also stimulates creativity and concentration thanks to its sculptural presence.

One thing is certain: Biagio is not a lamp to hide in a corner. Its character demands space, breathing room, and the right attention. Each time you switch it on, the atmosphere transforms, enveloped in light that highlights the details of the natural stone, making the environment both intimate and refined.

The reissue of the Ske-han

Alongside Biagio, Flos surprises once again with a new edition of the Ske-han, the floor lamp whose visionary design completes the narrative started by Tobia Scarpa in the 1960s. Here too, light is not just functional but becomes an aesthetic language, a signature that unites past and present while projecting Italian design into the future.

Together, Biagio and Ske-han represent two sides of the same philosophy: one that sees lighting as art, as an expression of material, and as a unique sensory experience.

Biagio: a work that belongs to you

Choosing the Biagio lamp means bringing home an object that does not follow trends but transcends them. It is an aesthetic and emotional investment, a symbol of refinement and love for design. Each time you look at it, you know you possess something that goes beyond function, continuing to tell stories: those of nature that shaped the marble, those of Scarpa who imagined its forms, and those of Flos, who has brought it back to light today.

With the Onyx Edition limited to just 100 pieces, the sense of urgency is inevitable—it is truly a piece not to be missed.
