Available in the U.S. through M2L, Flo is a minimalist LED light designed by the London-based architecture and design firm Foster + Partners for the Italian lighting brand Lumina. The varnish-coated aluminum-and-steel lamp has been updated in a range of matte, bright colors for commercial or residential interiors. Flo is now available as a desk lamp, bedside lamp, and floor lamp in black, white, silver, bronze, green, blue, orange, yellow, and red options.
Originally released by Duravit in 2012, the Paiova 5 bathtub has been updated by the Vienna-based design firm EOOS to be streamlined to fit any bathroom space. No longer limited to corner spaces, the geometrically shaped tub comes in two styles: a sculptural design that expands into the room or a built-in version for customized installations. The 22.8”-high tub pairs with
Bluetooth and LED technologies and features massaging backrests that can be adjusted to allow for an ergonomic sitting position or a flat recline.
