Starck has widely proven to be an out of the box thinker with the innate ability to surprise; unlike most of his colleagues, he is either unconscious or courageous enough to re-invent himself and his design approach every time - we believe the second, he is a terribly lucid mind.
One minute his is playing with traditional lamp typologies such as the abat-jour, the next he is reinventing a complete new typology of lamp, as is the case with the K-Ray lamp presented by Flos last April and that we expect to see soon in the market.
Made of a non better-defined plastic and featuring a LED lamp, K-Ray is a lightweight desk lamp that induce users to hold it, its trumpet like shape embedded in a sharp rectangular box is unconventional as it is functional to the abstraction of the lamp core elements: the light source and the resulting cone of light, the needed aeration flow and the power cable.
