Philippe Starck invites us to activate our imagination in his Guns Collection for FLOS Lounge Floor lamp, with an 18-carat, gold-plated support that is arms inspired. This is the ultimate designer floor lamp, a provocation by a great storyteller, who knows all too well that even adults need fairy tales to dispel their fears and that they need to play war to evoke peace. He knows our weak points inside and out and therefore our need of effective and universal symbols.
This M16 Rifle Floor Lamp has a body in die cast aluminium with injection moulded polymer overprint and either 18k shiny gold plated finish, with Matte black plasticized paper diffuser, silk screen gold printing inside, with subtle S+arck signature cross decoration. OR Chrome silver finish Lamp with White Paper shade with grey inside
My intent was to create objects to remind us that our state of well-being is the result of somebody else dying Philippe Starck
Black as colour of death
Crosses of our dead ones
Gold colour as ambition
War weapons; domestic weapons, bedside, table, living room weapons.
Aux Armes everywhere, as an ending...
Happiness is a hot gun...
