Flos

Carlo Moro, regional manager for Middle East and CIS discusses Flos’ positioning in the market across the hospitality and retail space.

Have you introduced any new product ranges for 2016?

Flos has recently introduced new products catering to homes, as the successful new family IC Lights designed by Michael Anastassiades, as well as architectural lighting systems that perfectly integrate into the architectural spaces, like the innovative Running Magnet or Moonline. Today, Flos is able to compete effectively and successfully in the outdoor sector as well, thanks to the acquisition of Ares, an Italian manufacturer.

What is your core business concept and product range?

Flos has successfully delivered a very high quantity of projects, being able to guarantee a comprehensive offer of complete package solutions in the fields of hospitality, retail and residential, also thanks to Flos’ custom-made division and its possibility to tailor and engineer each project based on specific clients’ needs.

Which hotels have you recently partnered with?

We have been working on lots of interesting projects, like the Four Seasons at DIFC and a couple of nice properties coming up in Jumeirah, Nobu Hotel in Riyadh and the Vida Hotel in Dubai. There we have deployed a number of items from our soft architectural range. We have also used our new fixtures such as light shooter, light supply, circle of lights or some fantastic items from our residential collection, like IC Light and AIM.

Have you expanded the company?

Flos has entered profitable collaborations with strong partners and lighting sales professionals in the Middle East region. This promotes the company to deal directly with architects and designers and contractors to secure projects and handle the distributors’ network.

Have you opened a new showroom?

We have opened new stores in Kuwait City, Dubai, Al-Khobar, Doha The Pearl, Muscat and Riyadh.

DID YOU KNOW?

Flos acquired Italian outdoor lighting company Ares, adding to its portfolio.
