GUNS TABLE

design by Philippe Starck, 2005

Table lamp providing direct reading and ambient lighting. Body is die cast aluminum with an overmolded polymer coating and gloss 18K gold plated, matte white or matte black finish. Matte black or white plasticized paper shade with an internal gold silkscreened or grey finish. On the cable there is the electronic  dimmer which allows the regulation of light brightness.

Inspiration behind the design: “Why doesn't furniture show that everything is a political choice?” asks designer Philippe Starck. Inspired to do just that, Starck created the Guns Collection to make a powerful statement. "The gold of the weapons represents the collusion between money and war. The Table Gun symbolizes the East, the Bed Side Gun symbolizes Europe, and the Lounge Gun represents the West.
