Table light “Biagio 282”

Biagio 282 Table Lamp – Tobia & Afra Scarpa for Flos, 1968

An icon of Italian design carved from stone

Designed in 1968 by Tobia and Afra Scarpa for Flos, the Biagio 282 is one of the most celebrated expressions of Italian modernist lighting. Entirely sculpted from a single block of white Carrara marble, the lamp embodies a remarkable balance between monumental materiality and visual lightness.

Its distinctive arched silhouette transforms a solid natural stone into an elegant, flowing form that appears almost weightless despite its substantial presence. When illuminated, the light gently reflects off the marble’s surface, enhancing the richness of the material and revealing its subtle natural veining.

More than a lamp, the Biagio is a sculptural object that exemplifies the Scarpas’ innovative approach to design—where craftsmanship, architecture, and functionality converge seamlessly. Its generous dimensions and timeless aesthetic make it a striking focal point in both contemporary and collectible interiors.

Produced by Flos, the piece remains a landmark of post-war Italian design and a highly sought-after work among collectors of twentieth-century lighting.
