This lamp unveiled at 2017 Milan Design Week wants to solve the paradox between industrial precision and artisanal know-how.
Baccarat, legendary crystal manufacturer and Flos, legendary lighting manufacturer, reveal their new collaboration with internationally renowned creator Philippe Starck: BON JOUR VERSAILLES, “a collection of lamps born from History and Human Intelligence.”
The heir to an earlier “Bon Jour” lamps collaboration between Flos and Starck and to the “Versailles”candle-holder created by Baccarat, the BON JOUR VERSAILLES collection reveals timeless lines.
“At the Palace of Versailles, the Sun King was bored. One day he had the vision of a flash of lightning, new and magical, other than his own sunlight illuminating his Hall of Mirrors. He dreamed of it, and even made it his coat of arms. A few centuries later, Flos and Baccarat made it reality, combining the highest technology to their timeless know-how. And History became modern,” said Philippe Starck. The BON JOUR VERSAILLES lamp sits on top of a finely sculpted transparent crystal or polymethacrylate stand whose lines are reminiscent of the Maison Baccarat most iconic pieces. Crowned with a chrome plate, the lamp features a unique and innovative LED Edge Lighting technology developed by Flos.
