Poised & playful: The latest from ECC

Everything you need to know about the latest from ECC — including what’s arriving soon. This month’s line-up brings together luminous reissues, new collections and materials with a story to tell.

Biagio Onyx Edition by Tobia Scarpa/Flos

Flos introduces the Biagio Onyx Edition. A rare, limited release of Tobia Scarpa’s iconic 1968 lamp, reimagined in luminous honey onyx. Carved from a single block of stone, each lamp reveals unique veins and textures that softly diffuse light, creating a warm, sculptural glow.

With only 100 numbered pieces produced worldwide, this exclusive edition is both a functional lamp and a collectible work of art, celebrating Italian craftsmanship and timeless design.

Big Glow Pendant by Rakumba

The Big Glow Pendant by Rakumba turns nature’s fibre into a luxurious hanging statement. With extensive research with Woolmark, Australian Wool is combined with plant-based bioplastic creating a warm and glowing sphere that is durable, sustainable and absorbs sound.

Royal Botania 2025 Collection

Arriving in October, the 2025 Royal Botania Collection includes the Regaliz Table by Kris Van Puyvelde. Its bold oval teak bases support a sculptural glass top. Distinctive and generous, it is a centrepiece for outdoor luxury. 

Also designed by Kris Van Puyvelde, the Carés chair embodies a seamless fusion of elegance and comfort. A new lounge version enhances the chair’s modular versatility. The woven backrest, available in Sage Green, Anthracite, or Pebble, adds texture and subtle luxury.

Poised & playful: Objects of note

The Chispa Portable Lamp by Joan Gaspar is a versatile, rechargeable outdoor light. Inspired by garage lamps but reimagined with a lightweight, high-quality finish, its protective grate adds character. 

The Rolo Up Down Pendant by Articolo is part of a refined collection of twelve sculptural variations, echoing the bold spirit of 1980s Milanese design while remaining distinctly contemporary. 

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the iconic Bon Jour, Flos has reimagined the design for 2025 with new colours and upgraded technology. Bon Jour Unplugged is available in eight colourways.
