“The almond (almendra in Spanish) is an organism: a seed, a sort of oval container that opens to release the fruit. For Flos I thought of a suspended module inspired by this small shell when it is open: a natural presence that is also mechanical, simple and poetic. A module, consisting of two fins that act as diffusers but are also a metaphor for the almond. The module can be composed in various ways: it attaches directly to the branch, like an almond, it can be assembled to compose various elements, vertical or horizontal; another possibility is that it winds into two or three other branches, creating a very light composition in the space” Patricia Urquiola for @flos
