Ara Lamp by Phillipe Starck

Ara table lamp by Phillippe Starck (born 1949, France) for Flos, produced in 1988 in Italy. The lamp is made of chrome plated steel with a circular and slightly domed base, and the head is in the form of a tusk. This lamp provides a novel solution to the switching mechanism; the halogen bulb is switched on by moving the lamp head. Around the rim of the horn is a recessed channel with an underlying mesh covering to disperse the heat from the lamp. Lamp is in near perfect condition and includes 1 transformer. Labeled with Flos makers mark on the underside. 

Philippe Starck has emerged as one of the stars of architecture and design in the latter part of the 20th century. He juxtaposes unexpected shapes and materials to create an individual style which is instantly recognizable.
