Italian lighting company Flos presents two notable collections of light at Milan Design Week 2023 for Eurolace. This includes the playful table lamp by Philippe Malouin and the trio of lamps that are designed by Ronan Bouroullec. Both of these are defined by their manufactured forms and use materials that are connected with the organically handmade look.
Malouin's Bilboquet is an adjustable lighting that is made up of a perforated wooden ball that is tied with a string at the center of a stick -- there is a point at one and finished with a concave plate on the other end. The Céramique collection by Boureoullec delivers three designs that share the same cap, stem, and base.
