Why hide the lamp cable when it can become a real eye-catcher? In the AIM LED pendant light from Flos, the forest of cables becomes a fascinating design element that attracts attention. The well-known manufacturer Flos has long been known for high-quality lights, unusual designs and products with first-class workmanship. The design by the Bouroullec brothers, Roman and Erwan, was launched in 2013 and has been delighting many design lovers ever since. But AIM certainly has the potential to become an iconic lighting classic. Timelessly beautiful and incredibly versatile – even after many years or even decades, it will not lose any of its appeal. Below you will find out what makes the designer lamp so impressive and how it can be integrated into the furnishings.
The AIM LED pendant light impresses with its versatility
Simple, simple and functional – the AIM LED pendant light from Flos follows thisMinimalism trend in the living area, which is primarily about reducing things to the essentials. The clear design language meets well-thought-out functionality. But it's not just the purist design that inspires interior enthusiasts. With the unique AIM series, the designer brothers break two fundamental principles of lighting design: firstly, lights do not necessarily have to be hung centrally in the room and secondly, cables can also have an aesthetic function.
The main idea of the project is to develop a luminaire that can be adapted to a wide range of requirements to meet different lighting needs. With its extra-long cable and the movable headlight-like light heads, the pendant light is flexible and can be used anywhere. The free direction and height of the light allows for an incredible number of compositions. The maximum suspension height is 3 meters.
The design of the pendant lamp captures the character of a living plant that can be naturally adapted to its surroundings. The 9 meter long cable and the decentralized ceiling suspension make it possible to position AIM in very different ways in the room. The lamp heads can be attached at any height with adjustable inclination. The pendant lamp composition therefore enables individual lighting and can create different lighting moods in the room.
The Flos light with cable in XXL format is perfect forLiving rooms with high ceilings. The cable swings, which swing freely, are more reminiscent of an art installation. The pendant light becomes an art object that leaves a lasting impression. The designer lamp also cuts a fine figure in offices, cafés and restaurants.
With the right suspension variant, the long cables of the AIM light work wonders. Whether as a single pendant light or as a version with three light heads - you can play with it perfectly. Below we will show you some excellent examples of how the designer lamp can be harmoniously integrated into the interior.
Designers usually choose the AIM pendant light when:
- you have a high ceiling.The lights are usually hung lower and attract attention. This means that the large room no longer looks empty and boring.
- you need a little pep.The long cables give the lamp quite a toucha creative touchand provide the necessary pep in a minimalist living space design.
- energy-efficient and flexible lighting solutions are in demand.The extra-long cable and the decentralized suspension make it possible to hang AIM from the ceiling within a large radius. The manufacturer also offers the multiple canopy as an accessory for arranging several lights while using a single power source. The lamp is also suitable for illuminating individual objects.
The AIM LED pendant light in a multipack looks very beautiful above a long dining table. The lights are hung along the table. In this dining room, for example, the black pendant light harmonizes perfectly with the black dining table. The ocher yellow armchairs serve as a beautiful splash of color.
The AIM light is also perfect for oneRoom with a sloping ceiling, because the suspension height of the lamps can be individually adjusted. This means that the light also fits under particularly low sloping ceilings.
Experts recommendmultiple light sources in one roomto combine. A light that is as bright and warm as possible is suitable as basic lighting. This will be designed by others according to the purpose or size of the room. This allows the light to be distributed evenly and particularly softly throughout the room.
Even if the pendant lamp seems somewhat industrial, it fits into any interior style. This example shows a harmonious mix of styles and materials. The marble worktop, the stucco moldings and the kitchen display cabinet give the room a great coziness with a 1930s flair, while the dining furniture has a modern design. The AIM light above the kitchen island fits seamlessly into this environment.
AIM in white
The movable lamp heads are made of polished aluminum and painted with liquid paint in either classic black or reserved white. The diffuser is made of optical polycarbonate and the inner reflector made of photo-engraved ABS really makes the LEDs shine. They can be dimmed with a Flos approved “Triac for LED” dimmer. The warm white light color creates a homely atmosphere in the room.
The white version has a completely different effect. The white color makes the lamp look very elegant and emphasizes the feeling of airiness that the cable swings create. In this bedroom, the light wooden floor makes it more cozy.
Since the light heads can be arranged freely in the room, it is possible for several areas to be illuminated at the same time. In this kitchen, for example, two of the pivoting lampshades cast direct, clear light over the countertop, while the third hangs over the small round dining table.
AIM as a single eye-catcher
AIM also cuts a fine figure as a single eye-catcher in the reading corner or above the bedside table. The diffuser can be aligned according to individual preference and provides direct light exactly where it is needed. But you can also set specific lighting accents and, for example, emphasize architectural elements or a painting.
Even a single light bulb is enough to illuminate a dark corner, as it has a lumen value of 1020 lm or 1250 lm. Lumens indicate how bright a lamp is. With around 2,700 Kelvin, AIM glows warm white and has a relaxing effect. Warm white light radiates coziness and is therefore perfect for the living room or a cozy corner.

Café and restaurant spaces offer great scope for creative solutions. These are usually for spacious rooms that require even more careful planning. A crucial prerequisite for success: The atmosphere there should not only be cozy, but also friendly and bright.
So if you soon visit a newly opened café where headlight-like lampshades and extra-long cable swings immediately catch your eye, then you already know - this is the ultra-modern LED pendant light AIM from FLOS!
