Within the collection of Flos Pendants, the Overlap introduces a softly luminous volume that feels suspended between architecture and sculpture. Designed for indoor use, its Cocoon resin diffuser wraps around a white powder-coated steel frame, creating a translucent surface that diffuses light with exceptional softness while allowing the underlying structure to remain perceptible. The family is available in S1 and S2 formats, giving designers two scales for dining rooms, lounges, hotel lobbies and refined residential interiors. A polished gold-plated ring adds a subtle metallic accent, while the white finish preserves the calm, almost weightless character of the composition. The Flos Overlap pendant lamp creates atmosphere through material texture and proportion rather than decorative excess.

Michael Anastassiades and the poetry of intersecting structure

Michael Anastassiades gives Overlap its distinctive identity by allowing the internal framework to visually cross through the softly glowing Cocoon surface. The result is a composition built on contrast: rigid steel meets an enveloping diffuser, precise geometry is softened by translucent material, and structural clarity coexists with a more atmospheric expression of light. This relationship makes the Overlap sculptural pendant light particularly effective in spaces where the luminaire is expected to contribute to the room even when switched off. Above a dining table or within a generous hospitality setting, the lamp introduces depth without blocking sightlines, allowing surrounding stone, timber, textiles and architectural finishes to remain part of the visual composition.

Flos Overlap: crafted detail and diffused illumination

The Flos Overlap S1/S2 pendant lamp reflects the material refinement associated with Flos, combining Cocoon resin, powder-coated steel and polished gold-plated detailing in a carefully resolved suspension. The diffuser is protected by a transparent finish that preserves its delicate fibrous appearance while supporting long-term use. A matching polished gold-plated ceiling rose is included, completing the installation with the same restrained elegance, while the 2.7 m cable provides flexibility across different ceiling heights. The soft, diffused output makes Overlap especially suited to lounges, bedrooms, dining areas and boutique hospitality interiors where visual comfort matters as much as sculptural presence.

A layered dialogue with Flos Ceiling lights

Used alongside Flos Ceiling Lights, Overlap can form part of a layered lighting concept in which suspended and overhead sources create different levels of atmosphere and spatial hierarchy. Its Cocoon diffuser brings a tactile, almost textile-like quality to the room, while the white structure and subtle gold details allow the lamp to work naturally with both minimal and richly layered interiors. The S1 version offers a more compact interpretation for intimate settings, while S2 increases the visual presence for broader rooms and more generous volumes. As a contemporary statement pendant, Overlap by Michael Anastassiades x Flos balances luminous softness, crafted materiality and architectural precision, giving designers a refined tool for interiors where light is expected to perform as both atmosphere and object.
