Philippe Starck's table lamp design for Flos, the KTribe, is emblematic of his exploration into democratic and functional design.
The diffuser is made of thermoplastic material, which is either clear or smoked along the outside surface and metallic grey or bronze along the inside surface. This helps to increase the amount of light that is dispersed uniformly. The circular section base that provides support for the stem transitions into a square plane at its conclusion, which conceals the power cord. The exterior of these structural elements is finished in a zinc metal alloy, which is long-lasting, adaptable, and good value for money.
The KTribe table lamp can be accommodated in any setting and with any furniture, thanks to its design, which is both ergonomically thoughtful and formally diverse.
