Flos Seki-Han Floor Lamp

Manufacturer: Flos

Designer: Tobia Scarpa

A floor lamp designed in 1963 and featured in the Flos catalogue until 1966, Seki-han embodies Tobia Scarpa’s complex and refined design poetics, as well as his sensitivity and expertise in working with wood.

This rare and little-known piece is marked by a particularly intricate construction, made possible by the choice of timber and a manufacturing technique that borrows processes from naval architecture.

Seki-Han consists of two vertical wooden blades enclosing a tubular light source, joined at either end by chromed metal fittings.

Light is emitted symmetrically and indirectly from both sides, with the materiality and warmth of the wood softening the luminous flow.

The wood is cut with an advanced CNC milling machine in Northern Italy and subjected to a special heat treatment that dries the wood fibers, preventing warping over time.

The natural characteristics of the material ensure that each piece has a unique character.
