The Bilboquet by Flos, designed by Philippe Malouin, is a table lamp that combines functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability in a compact and versatile design. Inspired by the 16th-century French game, the lamp features two colored cylinders connected by a magnetic sphere, which acts as a pivot allowing the lamp head to rotate freely and direct light where needed.
Available in Sage, Tomato, and Linen tones, the Bilboquet stands out for its use of pigmented polycarbonate derived from a paper production byproduct instead of petroleum based materials. This not only reduces environmental impact but also gives the lamp a uniform, paint-free appearance, enhancing its durability and aesthetic quality.
The steel sphere is treated with a protective PVD coating, replacing traditional electroplating processes, to ensure a corrosion-resistant and durable finish. Its glue free design allows for easy disassembly, facilitating repair, replacement, and recycling of components.
Bilboquet is designed to adapt to various settings and needs: it can serve as a desk lamp, indirect ambient lighting, or a focused light for reading or highlighting a specific corner.
