M16 Rifle Floor Lamp - Philippe Starck Guns Collection
Saw this at SPACE, Millenia Walk. Costs over 7K, but I want one…
This M16 Rifle Floor Lamp has a body in die cast aluminium with injection moulded polymer overprint and gold plated finish 18K. Matte black plasticized paper diffuser, silk screen gold printing inside, with subtle S+arck signature cross decoration.
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…
Flos will donate twenty percent of the gross sales from the Guns Collection to the Freres des Hommes Europe Association, an organization that works the growth of local communities & their social structure in underdeveloped countries for the world.
