philippe starck: chapeau light for flos‘chapeau’ by philippe starck for flosimage © designboom
taking the idea of a hat stand and translating it into an object which also functions as a light, philippe starck‘s ‘chapeau’ table lamp for flos offers a whimsical design which allows one to use any type of hat as a lampshade in which to diffuse the LED array used for illumination. presented at euroluce at the 2013 salone del mobile, the lamp’s simple form acts as a base whereby the owner can customize it with their own head covering, combining the functions of two things which would otherwise not be associated with one another, resulting in a playful, interactive lighting piece.

The Jeeves lights are so much better then this because not only is it a novel way of using a light but its an iconic symbol of Britishness.
This hasn’t been done as well as it could have but Jeeves was completely different from this.
is this really what design inn2013 has come to? – Sad for Starck, sad for Flos and sad for us to witness.
Curro Claret was there long ago (2005). Same Hat but much more interesting support (personal opinion).
Just search for Vincon Lamp Curro Claret
Disappointing that monsieur Starck and Flos has scraped the barrel with this design. The concept was expressed far better in 2007 by the Jeeves and Wooster collection by http://www.jakephipps.com
chapeau bas Philippe !
