Black Flos Original Philippe Starck KTribe T2 Desk Light
Product Description
The Starck KTribe series proved to be a storm for Flos when first introduced and it is easy to see why with this beautiful, smoked, original ‘K2’ desk light. The simple yet elegant design was offered with a range of shades and as part of a series of lights, floor and wall included, and quickly became the chosen light.
Flos has become synonymous with the highest quality lighting and it was only natural that Philippe Starck would, at some point, lend his talents to producing some fine examples for them. The range was first introduced in 2007 and have become a staple of Flos’s inventory ever since.
Individual Characteristics
The desk light is a used example and does show some light signs of this with some slight marks around the base and the lamp shade; but nothing that is too distracting.
It must be noted, as shown in the images, the lamp is wired for US plug sockets, but this should be adaptable; we would advise speaking to an electrician to confirm.
The light measures: 69cm high x 39.5cm diameter (shade) x 25cm w (base)
The label on the underside confirms the originality of this piece.
Investment Details
It is well known that Flos only produce items that pass their rigorous expectations and there is no doubt that Starcks’ KTribe series is undoubtedly up there amongst some of the finest. Still available to purchase today, early examples may not be easily considered at first hand, but with the ever consistent popularity of these pieces we fully expect them to start being recognised as collector’s pieces in the next few years.
