Story
Understated glamour from Starck
KTribe transforms a familiar archetype into an object of understated glamour. In it Philippe Starck's instinct for reduction treats lighting as atmosphere as well as illumination.
The suspension version provides diffused light through a transparent diffuser that is available in different colours. It hangs from three stainless steel cables and carries an inner diffuser of opal polycarbonate.
