Produced by Flos, Aim is a pendant light with a strong design that provides directional lighting or a custom light setting. The Bouroullec brothers explain their concept as follows: "We have developed a new type of lamp that is naturally positioned in space like a plant with long cables providing maximum freedom to adjust the direction and height of the light source.?" The long cable, which is an integral part of the lamp's design, allows the light to be aimed in any direction simply by sliding it. With this 9 metre cable, Aim can be hung more than 3 metres from the ceiling.

Born in 1971 and 1976 in Quimper, France, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec pursued their studies at the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and the École nationale supérieure d’arts in Cergy-Pontoise, respectively. In 1999, the brothers teamed up to establish a design studio in Paris. Their work spans the creation of home accessories and objects (vases, tableware, jewelry…), furniture for the home and office, as well as architectural projects that involve spatial planning and design. The chairs and armchairs by Erwan Bouroullec stand out for their organic and poetic design, combining comfort, modularity, and contemporary elegance. Among their standout creations, the "l'Algue" for Vitra, is a modular design that, when assembled, forms an asymmetrical and poetic room divider. Alongside designers like Jasper Morrison and Hella Jongerius, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec play a key role in the growing Vitra Home Collection. In recent years, they have also collaborated with brands like Alessi, KartellandNanimarquina designing pieces such as the Losanges rugs.
