Bunch Pendant Light from Research.Lighting

Flos helped define modern lighting with sculptural forms, balanced proportions, and a calm sense of atmosphere. But there are plenty of studios working in the same spirit, each with its own point of view.

Research.Lighting leans into a quiet, handcrafted feel. Their pendants and sconces keep things minimal and warm, letting form and presence stay gentle rather than loud. Tom Dixon brings material drama with brass, mirrored glass, and bold silhouettes that feel closer to sculpture than simple fixtures. Louis Poulsen focuses on soft geometry and layered diffusion, creating lights that shape and soften the room rather than overwhelm it. Moooi adds a playful, imaginative twist with pieces that feel almost storylike, blending design with a touch of fantasy.

All of them share a similar language with Flos. Light as mood. Light as experience.

Good lighting does not compete. It just fits the moment.

Every sleepless night and struggle in preparing our materials brings us one step closer to creating something extraordinary. The journey might be tough, but the impact will be unforgettable!

« In The Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (@apesmovies), our main character is Noa, a young ape coming of age in the Eagle Clan. Wet Workshop worked with Director Wes Ball and in collaboration with Aaron Sims Company on refining the look of Noa, played by Owen Teague.

The process utilised both digital and physical clay sculpting to find a balance between human and chimpanzee features that would be both relatable and endearing.

Pictured here is our beautiful physical Noa bust, meticulously hair punched and used as an on-set lighting reference by the VFX teams and as an early concept sculpt maquette of the same character. »
