Not only architectural firms, but also the Dutch office of lighting manufacturer Flos International settled in the robust Cruquiuskwartier in Amsterdam. M+R, with its sober interior, followed the style set by Dedato designers and architects, so that the interior of Flos in this building took on a natural character. Flos was founded in Italy in the sixties and has since launched a number of modern classics in the field of lighting. Well-known examples include the Arco floor lamp that bends far into space from a block of marble, designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in the sixties, or the table lamp mounted on a golden gun designed by Philippe Starck. A true Italian design brand with branches all over the world, which has had a separate Dutch office for three years.

Powerful simplicity
Because Flos regularly collaborates with M+R Interior Architects, the choice was quickly made when the office in Amsterdam had to be furnished in 2005. The Cruquiuskwartier* was built in phases, and Flos initially settled in a modest space on the ground floor of the first section. When a larger space became available on the third floor in 2008, where the showroom of the Italian furniture brand Moroso was located next to it, Flos decided to move. M+R designed the space again. Key words here are – in line with the architecture of the Cruquiuskwartier – powerful simplicity.
