Tab Floor Lamp by Flos was designed by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, the London-based design duo whose practice consistently pursues rigorous, functionally driven solutions to everyday design problems. Tab takes its name from its distinctive rectangular diffuser head, which tilts on a precise pivot to direct light exactly where required — a genuinely task-oriented design that prioritises accurate, glare-controlled illumination over decorative ambient glow, reflecting Barber Osgerby's consistent focus on functional clarity across furniture, lighting and product design. Flos's manufacturing precision ensures the tilting pivot mechanism operates smoothly and holds its position reliably over extended daily use.
The Tab Floor Lamp's tilting rectangular head allows precise light direction onto a reading chair, desk or work surface, distinguishing it from purely ambient floor lamps and making it particularly effective as a genuine task light in home-office settings, reading corners and hospitality guest room work areas. Its clean, minimal silhouette and considered material finishes give it an architectural quality consistent with the rest of Barber Osgerby's design output. Its stable weighted base also ensures the fixture remains secure even at extended arm reach positions.
Architects and interior designers specifying Tab for residential and hospitality task-lighting applications will find the DWG drawing and CAD block useful for furniture-group layout and floor-lighting coordination. The 3D model supports BIM-accurate spatial planning. A precise specification for any project requiring genuinely directional, task-oriented floor lighting. Its rechargeable battery option also extends the fixture's usefulness to outdoor terraces and cordless applications.
Available as a 2D DWG drawing and 3D model.
