A somewhat startling surprise and wondering why now, but… the good news is, Italian lighting design company Flos is participating for first time in NYIGF. What to show ( many options ) at the gift show? Proudly presenting the “Gift Collection.” Duh. Comprised of twelve portable lighting options, the Gift Collection includes new designs such as the MiniKelvin by Antonio Citterio and the Piani designed by the Bouroullec Brothers, as well as mainstays in the Flos catalog such as the May Day by Konstantin Grcic and the Miss K and Miss K Soft designed by Philippe Starck. The collection as a whole will make its debut at booth #3931 | 19 > 22 August [ flos ] [ nyigf ]

We received the images and the press release. There’s little doubt the origin. The market category, the style, the materials, and the innovation and colors. The unique effort of twin brothers Richard and Antony Joseph. Here’s a sneak at 2012-13.
above> Tri-scale. When open, its three arms provide a stable platform on which to place bowls and other items for weighing. When closed, the unit folds down to an extremely compact size of 4.5 cm x 15 cm x 1.5 cm, enclosing and protecting the screen and controls, which makes it perfect for storing in a kitchen drawer. The scale weighs/measures in the following units: gms, lbs, ozs, fl.ozs and mls. Maximum capacity: 5kg/176.4 fl.oz/11lb/5000ml. Designed by [ Morph ].

This isn’t a knock but an expectation: Kitchen and tabletop is not yet as green ( not the color ) as it could be. These award-winning guys are so consistently solid we expect them to lead the way with the innovative greener solutions in contemporary kitchenware.
