In Vitro Ceiling Lamp by Flos was designed by Philippe Starck, taking its name and its formal concept directly from the language of scientific glassware. In Vitro exposes a slender LED filament suspended within a hand-blown glass bulb form, celebrating the light source itself as the primary visual element rather than concealing it behind a shade or diffuser — a design approach that treats the bulb as a genuine object of contemplation rather than a purely functional component to be hidden from view. Flos's manufacturing precision ensures the hand-blown glass and exposed filament meet consistent quality standards across every unit produced.
The In Vitro Ceiling Lamp's exposed filament and hand-blown glass form produce a warm, distinctly vintage-inflected quality of light, its visible glowing filament casting the kind of atmospheric warmth associated with early incandescent lighting rather than the flat, even output of a concealed LED source. Its minimal material presence — glass, filament, slender fixing — gives it a genuinely reduced, almost laboratory-like aesthetic that has made it a distinctive specification choice in contemporary bar, restaurant and residential dining environments.
Architects and interior designers specifying In Vitro for residential and hospitality dining and bar environments will find the DWG drawing and CAD block essential for pendant placement and ceiling coordination. The 3D model supports BIM-accurate spatial documentation. A distinctive specification for any project requiring exposed-filament lighting with genuine Philippe Starck design provenance. Its dimmable output also allows the fixture's warm filament glow to be adjusted precisely to the room's intended mood.
Available as a 2D DWG drawing and 3D model.
