Flos Chasen E27 závěsné skleněné svítidlo

Innovative light control with movable blades

The Chasen luminaire offers the unique possibility to control the light flux and shape by mechanical movement of the blades, which open or close. This design element allows not only to adjust the intensity of the lighting, but also to change the visual appearance of lighting according to the mood or need of the space.

Combining precision technology and artistic design

Chasen is made of chemically photo-etched stainless steel and borosilicate glass, which gives it not only durability but also an exceptional aesthetic expression. Thanks to the use of special materials and a liquid protective coating, light not only has a modern look, but also a long life and resistance to wear and tear.
