Bedside Gun by Philippe Starck

Bedside Gun by Philippe Starck

Lamp designed by Philippe Starck in 2005 for Flos.

The collection includes three lamps, all very original and made with the same main subject: weapons.

This is clearly a provocative project, which wants to emphasize the strong link between man and weapons. Although it is a rather recent project, it has already become very famous and has been exhibited in several museums. On the base of the lamps is engraved the words “Happiness Is a Hot Gun”, a strong reference to the Beatles’ song “Happiness Is a Warm Gun”. The project is a clear statement against the arms market and a strong denunciation of the link between man, weapons and money. The aim is to sensitize even those who are not directly touched by this issue, so that its denunciation involves as many people as possible.
