Designed by acclaimed Italian architect and designer Antonio Citterio, the Kelvin LED desk lamp by Flos represents a milestone in task lighting innovation. Introduced in the early days of LED technology, this lamp combined sophisticated design with user-friendly functionality that remains inspiring today.
Featuring the FLOStouch™ technology, the Kelvin lamp allows users to control lighting with a simple touch of its cast-aluminum head — eliminating the need for traditional switches. This was a significant innovation when it launched, marrying convenience with a sleek minimalist aesthetic.
The lamp’s 30 LEDs deliver a warm 2700K light output at 275 lumens, consuming only 8 watts of power — a remarkable efficiency compared to traditional 100-watt incandescent lamps. Its adjustable arm and head make it ideal for office desks, bedside reading, or any focused lighting task.
As LED technology has evolved rapidly, the Kelvin lamp stands as a testament to early adoption and thoughtful integration of new tech in everyday design objects. Its timeless style and advanced features continue to influence modern lighting solutions.
