Flos Bilboquet Sculptural Table Lamp
The Flos Bilboquet Tomato Red Adjustable Table Lamp is one of the most inventive, playful, and forward-thinking designer lamps to emerge in recent years. Created in 2023 by Canadian-born, London-based designer Philippe Malouin for the iconic Italian lighting house Flos, the Bilboquet takes its name and inspiration from a classic 16th-century French toy — a ball connected to a cup by a string — and translates this whimsical concept into a brilliantly engineered magnetic ball-and-socket joint that allows the lamp head to be freely rotated and directed with extraordinary precision.
Standing at H 20.3cm x W 5.65cm x D 10.4cm with a 200cm adjustable cable, the Flos Bilboquet Tomato Red Adjustable Table Lamp is compact, bold, and unmistakably stylish. Its body is crafted from a special pigmented polycarbonate derived from a by-product of paper production rather than petroleum — a remarkable eco-conscious material choice that aligns with ISCC sustainability standards. The PVD-coated steel sphere at its centre forms the functional heart of the lamp, allowing the luminaire head to swivel into any position and lock in place effortlessly. The rich tomato red colour is intrinsic to the material itself — not painted or coated — ensuring the finish is both durable and fade-resistant.
Described by its designer as a lamp for millennials and Generation Z, the Bilboquet suits modern living room lamps collections, home office desks, reading nooks, and bedside tables with equal ease. The focused GU10 LED light source (6.5W, not included) provides direct, comfortable illumination precisely where it is needed. Every component of the lamp can be individually disassembled, repaired, and replaced — making it as future-proof as it is beautiful. A true icon of contemporary mid century style lamps aesthetics and sustainable design thinking.
