Flos supports the research on disassembly and maintainability processes, that are facilitated by modularity. Since 2020 a new developing process has been adopted to allow the complete disassembly of new products.
The new Bellhop Floor lamp by Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby, for example, can be entirely disassembled in all its elements: the concrete base, the aluminium stem, the glass reflector and the electronic components. This allows the replacement of parts and the product maintenance.
To facilitate the disassembly, starting from 2021 the new products will be designed to be assembled without the use of glues.
