Description

A versatile, contemporary table lamp from designer Konstantin Grcic, – his first-ever design for Flos – May Day is a brilliant blend of utility and sophistication. It is a lamp suited to multiple uses and settings. With its practical handle that also acts as a cable winder, it can be placed on a table, on the floor or suspended.

Designed in 2000, Konstantin Grcic offers a lamp that is the height of functionality, but doesn’t skimp on beauty. He created this conical light to go anywhere it is needed—whether that means it’s displayed prominently or illuminates a utility closet. May Day received the coveted Compasso d’Oro award in 2001.

“It was a lamp I wanted to have for myself—a lamp that I felt should be something like a tool. A tool is an object that fulfills a function—a very concrete function—and normally its form explains the function. That’s what makes a tool so beautiful.” – Grcic
