Pair of Ara table lamps, Philippe Starck, 1988

Iconic pair of Ara table lamps designed by the acclaimed Philippe Starck for the great Italian firm Flos in 1988. These lamps are distinguished by their unique shape and their horn-shaped head.

They also feature a circular chrome-plated steel base that matches the slim structure supporting it and the horns of the lamp. These pieces have an interesting operation; if the top part of the lamp is tilted upward, it turns off, and conversely, the light turns on when we point the lamp head downward.
