Story
An evolution of the Archimoon
Philippe Starck designed SuperArchimoon in 2000 as an exaggerated, monumental evolution of the iconic Archimoon. Oversized yet precise, it plays with scale and perception.
A statement in the room
The lamp turns a functional object into a powerful architectural statement. Its dramatic silhouette and complex structure create a commanding presence and push boundaries in Starck's subversive way.
