Gun from Flos is a new collection of table and floor lamps. Inspired from the wars and conflicts in the middle east. The guns are finished in a high polished gold to symbolize the military-industrial complex, while their black shades signify death. Small, smoked crosses line the inner portion of the shades, miniature graveyards that remind users that the next passing could be their own. Starck chose different guns which reflect the different countries. The Beretta symbolizes the responsibility of western Europe; the Kalashnikov, the suffering caused by former Russia; and the M16, created by the U.S. Body in die cast aluminum with injection-molded polymer overprint and gold-plated finish 18K.
