Luxury homeware & household goods: Gun Collection of gold lamps

The gun collection of table and floor lamps by Philippe Starck can be interpreted in numerous ways. Whatever the case, the end result was finished to the point of superlative conceptual unity, right down to the black fabric cord and in line dimmer and silk screened internal finish on the lamps. The guns are finished in a high polished gold to symbolize the military-industrial complex, while their black shades signify death. Small, smoked crosses line the inner portion of the shades, miniature graveyards that remind users that the next passing could be their own.

The Flos Lighting Bedside Gun Table Lamp creates bright illumination in a design that features a bold, tongue-in-cheek form. The Bedside Gun Table Lamp is a part of Starck’s design collection of identifiable weapon forms redefined as light-giving objects. Price of gun table lamp: $1756, price of lounge floor lamp: $2812.
