When we hear the word lamp, a familiar image usually comes to mind – a bulb, a long neck or stand, perhaps a shade. It’s this conventional expectation that makes the LUNO lamp, designed by Amsterdam-based design studio Piet Boon for Italian lighting brand FLOS Bespoke, so compelling. Rather than following tradition, LUNO reimagines what a lamp can be through its innovative, two-part system that redefines how we see, feel, and experience light.

The design team drew inspiration from architecture and movement in creating this lighting for FLOS Bespoke, the made-to-order arm of the global Italian lighting brand. Piet Boon and FLOS both share a refined approach to form and function, grounded in a deep understanding of customization, craftsmanship, and the unique needs of each client or space. Together, they’ve crafted a piece that feels contemporary yet timeless, familiar yet completely innovative, that will change the way designers and design-lovers think about light.

LUNO features a suspended glass halo, crafted from frosted glass to emit a soft, diffused glow. A counterweight pulley system and ball-joint mechanism attached to the glass “shade” allow for easy adjustments in height and angle, adapting effortlessly to various environments. What sets LUNO apart is its second component: an uplight pedestal that casts its beam upward into the floating halo. The negative space between these two elements creates a sculptural tension, enhancing the perception of light as something both anchored and ethereal, while inviting interaction and spatial awareness.

While Piet Boon addresses the purpose of light – its direction, adjustability, and ambiance – in LUNO, it also creates a poetic and quietly futuristic reimagination of what lighting can be. Stunning from every angle, LUNO makes an elegant statement the moment it’s turned on.
