A handmade light designed by Paul Cocksedge and produced by Flos, inspired by the technological innovation of the BMW 6 Series Coupe headlights.

London based designer Paul Cocksedge created SESTOSENSO, a unique light for BMW and FLOS, which was first presented at the Salone del Mobile 2011. Inspired by the astonishing Full-LED headlights of the new BMW 6 Series, Paul Cocksedge has designed a white wall extension to the Flos showroom and low-hanging red and white conical lamps.
