Flos 265 Wall

Seeming to defy gravity, the Mod 265 wall lamp by designer Paolo Rizzatto is in a category all its own. The lamp head—which rotates 360-degrees so that it can be aimed in any direction—provides a clean, direct light. The body is painted steel, with an adjustable arm and reflector. There is a chrome-plated brass reflector support. The counterweight is tapered cast iron. There is an on/off switch on the socket holder, and a plug in power cord measuring 80-inches.

265 Small is the latest iteration of the 265, an iconic wall lamp that appears to defy gravity with its multi-angle rotatable head and long, adjustable swing arm. The piece was designed for Flos in 1973 by the Milanese architect Paolo Rizzatto. The wall lamp takes on a convenient, flexible form that maintains the perfect balance between the elements that compose it.

265 Small uses the same iconic design, materials, and color finishes as the 265, but is reinterpreted into new, more compact proportions: the arm features a shorter length—59 inches versus the original 96 inches.

The new size is available in black, white, and chromatica.
