Flos linear suspensions light rectangular surfaces the way round pendants never manage. A dining table, a kitchen island, or a conference top runs long, and a matching linear form spreads even output across the whole span. The range runs from the sculptural Almendra to the minimal Luce Cilindrica.

Length drives the decision. Target a fixture between half and two thirds the length of the surface below, and hang 30 to 36 inches above a dining table. Over an island with counter seating, 32 to 34 inches keeps sightlines open. Wireline suits contemporary kitchens with an extruded glass tube and exposed belt suspension. Seki-Han brings wood warmth to rooms built from stone and steel.

Patricia Urquiola and Formafantasma contributed designs across this group. Every fixture runs integrated LED with dimming support. Montreal Lighting & Hardware carries the full Flos linear range with specification help from our team. Free shipping on orders over $199 across Canada.

Buying guide

How to Choose Flos Linear Suspensions

Length, hanging height, finish, and layering settle most linear suspension projects.

Size it to the room

Target a fixture length between half and two thirds the length of the table or island. Leave at least 6 inches of table beyond each end of the fixture.

Nail the hanging height

Hang 30 to 36 inches above a table surface. Over a kitchen island with seating, 32 to 34 inches keeps sightlines clear across the counter.

Match the finish

Flos runs brass, black, white, and natural materials across this range. Match the fixture to cabinet hardware and faucet finish rather than to the countertop.

Layer your lighting

A linear suspension handles the task layer over a work surface. Add recessed or cove lighting for general fill, and put both on separate dimmers.

Surface	Recommended fixture length	Hanging height
6' dining table	36" - 48"	30-36" above the table
8' dining table	48" - 64"	30-36" above the table
Kitchen island (6')	36" - 48"	32-34" above the counter
Kitchen island (8'+)	48" - 72"	32-34" above the counter
Conference table	Half to two thirds the table length	36-40" above the surface

Common questions

Flos Linear Suspensions FAQ

How long should a linear suspension be over my dining table?

Aim for half to two thirds the table length. On a 6-foot table that means 36 to 48 inches. Leaving 6 inches of clear table at each end keeps the proportion right.

How high do I hang a Flos linear suspension?

Thirty to 36 inches above a dining table surface. Over an island with seating, 32 to 34 inches preserves sightlines across the counter.

Do these fixtures work on sloped ceilings?

Several models accept sloped-ceiling adapters. Check the product page for the specific canopy and confirm the maximum slope before ordering.

Are Flos linear suspensions dimmable?

Yes, all models in this group run integrated LED with dimming support. Confirm dimmer compatibility on the product page to avoid flicker.

What is the difference between Almendra Linear and Almendra Organic?

Almendra Linear runs the reflectors along a straight spine for tables and islands. Almendra Organic branches outward for a fuller, more sculptural shape suited to open rooms.

Do I need more than one fixture over a long island?

Islands beyond 8 feet often look better with a single long fixture than with two shorter ones. A continuous line reads cleaner and lights the surface evenly.

Do you ship Flos linear suspensions across Canada?

Yes. Montreal Lighting and Hardware ships nationwide with free shipping on orders over $199.
