Flos Smithfield Suspension Lamp

Part of the Smithfield family, the Smithfield Suspension manages to be both grand and unassuming in Halogen and new LED versions. Providing direct light through its aluminum body, it is well suited for a variety of environments. Available in black, matte black, mud and white. Its diffuser is injection-molded opalescent PC (polycarbonate).

The steel ceiling attachment features a steel suspension cable, and the three-pole electric cable is PTFE double insulation.

Inspiration behind the design: Jasper Morrison is known for his ability to take the beauty that he sees in the world around him and translate it into his work. To that end, the Smithfield family was named for the Smithfield Market in London, where the artist was inspired by the industrial nature of the fixtures he saw. "I've always liked the industrial and functional character of these lights," he says. "I wanted to make a project out of them, looking for some way of making use of their efficiency in delivering light, and the forms themselves which are so much a part of the good atmosphere of industrial spaces."

Jasper Morrison

UK, 1959

“My grandfather had decorated one room of his house in the Scandinavian style of the ‘60s—bare floors, long-haired white rugs—and in it was a Braun record player with wooden side panels. I was impressed by the room and the record player.” – Jasper Morrison

Jasper Morrison was born in London in 1959. He studied at the Kingston School of Art and the Royal College of Art, graduating in 1985. Since 1986 he has opened his Office for Design in London.

Jasper Morrison became a leading figure of “New Simplicity,” a movement that advocated a more modest and also more serious approach to design. In addition to furniture, he has also created lamps, home accessories, textiles, a tram system for the city of Hanover, Germany and a bus shelter for the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein.

Recent projects include the design of the furniture for the Tate Modern in London, the Folding Air-Chair and Low Air-Table for Magis, flatware, glassware and other home accessories for Alessi, the Flos Glo-Ball lighting series and furniture for Vitra.

Jasper Morrison Ltd. is currently based in London and Paris.
