Erwan Bouroullec, 2023. Floor lamp emitting direct and indirect light. Features anti-glare optical module with replaceable lens. Independent up- and downlight control via capacitive touch dimming sensors integrated into the top of the central rod. Includes built-in 220–240 V power supply, cable and plug. Provided with 76.77" cord set and dimmer switch. Designed by Erwan Bouroullec, Emi is his first solo lighting design for Flos, built around the paradox of ‘light from shadow’. Named after the word ‘emitting’, Emi directs powerful light invisibly, reflected by surrounding walls rather than projected from a visible source. Its sculptural body disappears into the room when switched off, then transforms the space when illuminated. For Bouroullec, light is the most emotional realm of design because it shapes experience. Geometry is a constant in his work, here expressed through an unusual triangular form that defines both structure and function.
