Seki-Han Floor Lamp

A poetic balance of craft and light, the Seki-Han Floor by Flos brings a quietly expressive presence to contemporary interiors. Originally conceived in 1963 by Tobia Scarpa and reissued with modern technology, it reflects a timeless dialogue between tradition and innovation.

Two vertical blades of finely crafted ash timber frame a central light source, rotating to shape both direct and ambient illumination. This simple yet ingenious mechanism allows the lamp to shift from soft, diffused glow to more focused light, creating an atmosphere that feels both intimate and architectural.

Resting on a raw iron base and detailed with chromed fittings, Seki-Han celebrates material contrast—warm wood against industrial metal—while showcasing Scarpa’s mastery of structure, inspired by techniques drawn from naval craftsmanship.

Even when nearly closed, the blades reveal a subtle sliver of light, lending the piece a quiet, almost ritualistic quality. Named after a traditional Japanese ceremonial dish, Seki-Han is more than a lamp—it’s a considered object that brings movement, tactility, and atmosphere into the space.
