The Chasen S2 suspension, designed by Patricia Urquiola with Flos, uses the shape of the whisk used in Japan for the tea ceremony. The Flos technology combined with Patricia Urquiola's creativity bring a flexible lamp that  will follow your desires. The intensity of lighting results from the form that you will give to the lampshade. Indeed, Chasen lampshade is completely flexible: it is composed of a multiplicity of flexible steel plates. While turning a serrated roller (located on the ring at the top of the lampshade) you can stretch the plates or on the contrary fold them. The lamp-shade can adopt oblong forms and resemble a long tube, or can take round and open forms (Dimensions: H max: 85 cm/H min: 76 cm - ø max: 48.5 cm/ø min: 28.5 cm). The luminous intensity varies according to the opening between the plates. According to the way in which the plates are positioned (brought closer or spaced), you will obtain various luminous effects. The internal diffuser of Chasen is available in white or black.
