Like noctambules, these lamps are veritable birds of the night: almost invisible during the day, they prove fascinating at night... During the day, Noctambule by Flos is an ethereal luminaire with a discreet presence despite its imposing proportions. Once night falls, Noctambule becomes the actor in an exceptional light scenography. The LED sources are discreetly integrated into the junctions between the glass modules. These luminous rings divide the slender silhouette and give rhythm to the space. The diffused light spreads over the entire surface of the glass, which becomes shiny. A designer renowned for his clean lines and functional rigour, Konstantin Grcic has designed the Noctambule lighting collection. In this project, we find his appetite for exploring new typologies. The Noctambule lamps from Flos are made up of a stack of transparent modules, handcrafted from blown glass. The modules are held in place by an internal structure made of black lacquered metal. The geometric shapes are superimposed, giving rise to sculptural constructions that offer an extraordinary balance between proportions and the elegance of the materials.

Born in Munich, Germany, in 1965, Konstantin Grcic trained as a cabinetmaker at Parnham College, Dorset, before studying industrial design at the Royal College of Art in London. From 1990 to 1991 he worked in Jasper Morrison's studio in London. In 1991, he set up his own structure in Munich, "Konstantin Grcic Industrial Design", which served as both his workshop and studio. Since then, he has been designing furniture, objects and lamps for renowned manufacturers such as Magis and Flos. An adept of a functionalism that is "contemporary, feasible and concrete", his creations are not simply minimalist, but radical, pure, direct and simple, while never repeating themselves. With the publisher Plank, Konstantin Grcic is experimenting with cantilever seating and has created Miura, a stackable bar stool with sharp lines.
