What’s not to like about a desk lamp with a sliver of a footprint and a dual objective? Really little—specifically when it occurs to be a collaboration in between FLOS and Philippe Starck, and has über good looks to advise it, also. Starck’s D’E-light LED desk lamp for the Italian lighting firm is a reductive design of the utmost order, comprised of stem, base and head fashioned in polished aluminum (now, supplied in a matte black finish, as well), with not a useless extraneous detail in sight. D’E-light’s linear profile involves a handsome docking station for smart phones and tablets, a function that doesn’t hold the lamp from operating at optimal energy efficiency. Enlightening stuff.
