Flos - Belt black suspension lamp
This iconic profile for suspended installation features refined leather or fabric surfaces developed specifically for Flos. Belt is pure flexibility, a sinuous line that creates a balance between the softness of leather or fabric and the rigidity of aluminium. The soft part is represented by the connection to the electrical network, while the rigid parts correspond to the light source, the long lines of light. The fixture is equipped with integrated direct and indirect lighting and each light source can be controlled individually via remote control. The product is installed with the use of leather or fabric straps to hang the lighting profile, sliding the straps through dedicated metal clasps that act as hooks on the ceiling. Each strap may be regulated to match the shape of the environment. A special microconnector integrated into the terminal of the lighting profile allows for electrical connection through a simple snap. The electrical connection is hidden within the leather or fabric straps, which supports the composition. Profiles available in leather (black, natural leather and green finishes) and fabric (grey olive and copper brown finishes). Electrical system powered at 48V dimmable with CASAMBI controller integrated inside the fixture. To manage the system it is necessary to download the FLOS Control® powered by Casambi app (available on Apple Store and Google Play).
