new york-based designer ron gilad has created 'la linea' for italian lighting company flos.
the form of the light draws from its name which translates to 'the line' in italian.
a single tubular piece of aluminium has been curved to mimic the outline of a sconce or candelabra,
minimizing its form but still emitting quite a strong, warm glow through the use of LED lights.
