Perfect for a night stand or desk, Philippe Starck's table lamp incorporates a delightful duality of function. When unlit, its transparent, aluminized polycarbonate outer diffuser shimmers with a captivating metallic quality. When lit, the diffuser’s transparency creates the illusion of an x-ray complemented by a diffused light. Both the designer and the manufacturer, Flos, are represented in MoMA’s collection.
