The archetypal elements remain similar to the existing collection we took the top of the Bellhop and turned it upside-down, we introduced a combination of new materials - concrete, aluminium, glass - and have also used bright lacquered colours. The Bellhop Table Lamp from Flos Lighting is a wireless lamp that offers a lesson in sleek simplicity. The Bellhop utilises a level of versatility that other table lamps cannot offer, wireless, USB rechargeable, dimming settings and available in a range of. While table lamps are often discreet and offer direct lighting, the new Bellhop Floor has a more sculptural character.

“Following the Bellhop portable and outdoor lamps, we decided to work on a floor standing version, one that fits the collection but gives a totally different quality of light. They flipped the top upside-down and made it of glass, which gives a lovely glow. We’ve always had the idea that we set our sights on the best manufacturer in each field.” Then, the designers gave Flos the idea to add an uplighter to the Bellhop collection.

So we spent a great deal of time getting a series of projects to propose. Over time, this range was expanded to meet different needs but always in the distinctive style of the Barber & Osgerby studio, which is also famous for designing the Olympic Torch in 2012. “Back in the early 2000s, we had four or five ideas for lights, and we knew at the time there was only one manufacturer that we wanted to talk to, and that was Flos. Available in seven colours (in Matte Black only online), it serves as a contemporary battery-operated candle that you can carry wherever you want. The Flos Bellhop is a wireless table lamp with dimmer function. So we thought, ‘how could we recreate that?’ That was the starting point, as abstract as it sounds.” The idea was to have a cordless lamp that could be charged during the day and then placed on restaurant tables at night to create a cosy and classy atmosphere. Hop from place to place and from direct to soft ambient light.
The reflected light that bounced from the porcelain was really beautiful.
We simply dimmed the lights and shone a torch into the underside of this bowl. “When we were talking to Flos about that project, we happened to have a really beautiful Japanese bowl in the studio. In fact, Flos liked it so much that it decided to produce it. This LED portable table lamp didn’t go unnoticed. It was originally designed in 2016 for the restaurant in the London Design Museum. The Bellhop table lamp stands out for its essential yet refined shape that brings to mind that of a reception bell, hence the name. It stems from the idea of a lamp with a gentle, comfortable light, thanks to edge-lighting technology. Bellhop is a range of lamps by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby that has expanded over time.
