In Vitro Bollard
Philippe Starck
Since forever, the lightbulb is protected by a glass globe. Today, this disappears in favor of the light. It is the both poetic and surrealistic idea of dematerialized architectural lighting and the memory of the space occupied by the light.
Technical Description

The structure is made of die-cast and extruded aluminium treated with a chemical conversion process for effective resistance to atmospheric agents. The body is powder coated and comes in various finishes.
