“The bedside lamp is essentially a portable lamp from BHV, with a thermoformed mask. The result is stunning : it creates a beautiful light, the object is decoratively surrealistic, mobile, ready to receive any personal intervention— take it and replace it with another, or add a mustache with a felt-tip pen.” said the French designer Philippe Starck about the beside lamps of MaMa Shelter hotel (Paris, France) during an interview for Tablet10, Top Ten New Hotels, Volume 7 (Europe). Well, why not reuse this lighting system for kids’ rooms ?! That is great, isn’t it ? “…La lampe de chevet est tout simplement une lampe portative du BHV, avec un masque thermoformé. Le résultat est stupéfiant : cela donne une jolie lumière, d’un point de vue décoratif l’objet est surréaliste, mobile, prêt à recevoir n’importe quelle intervention personnelle…” raconte le designer Français Philippe Starck à propos des lampes de chevets de l’hôtel Mama Shelter (Paris, France) lors d’une interview pour Tablet10, Top 10 des Nouveaux Hôtels, Volume 7 (Europe). Bien bien bien, et pourquoi ne pas utiliser ce système d’éclairage pour des espaces enfants ? C’est bien, non ?! (via)
