In Vitro Unplugged by Phillipe Starck is a portable, rechargeable enchanting glass lantern equipped with a handy soft-touch silicone handle in orange to easily facilitate movement. While designed for external use, it is also ideal for indoor environments.
Born from the idea of imitating a street lamp, Arco by Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni is one of the icons of Italian design.
