FLOS commissioned Arquitectura G and Sam Chermayeff Office for a showroom spotlighting light itself. Located on the third floor overlooking water, the floor plan divides the open space into functions and light conditions around an eleven-metre table that is both cooktop and workspace. The entire interior is 6mm steel plate, welded on-site — a paper model come to life, bending under its own weight, both solid and fragile.

Size: 380m2

Elements:
(1) 15m long steel table with a integrated gas stove
