A politically engaged design: Philippe Starcks gun range. While the broken taboo is controversially discussed, the intention is quite simple: Starck wants to use his unusual and provocative gun lamps to call attention to governmental arms exports worldwide. The M16 Lounge Gun therefore stands for USAs responsibility. The golden or chromed shaft strikingly represents the ill-fated connection between war and profit. Flos is donating a percentage of the profits from this range to Frères des Hommes Europe. The Lounge Guns stand is made of zamac with an 18 carat gold plated or chromed finish. The matt black diffuser is made of paper, printed gold on the inside. The diffuser of the chromed version is white and printed silver inside.
