The floor lamp is an iteration of Starck's previous work for Baccarat, the Firelamp, only now it stands 6 feet tall and incorporates an LED display of Jenny Holzers' Truisms that runs vertically within the Baccarat Crystal stand.<br /><br />Philippe Starck is shown below with his lamp:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA8aRLEGCwlSm2vjIb506Vd6-i2QF1Tgxaqoc9W9lVT_Hu6JkV6nUc-YRbxR2tyYjVjf1-Q9fP2e08ZmFBV48ase1Zk4QCTeHccKpOXJEVEsUIeXzr1j0SSWzLPw16g2s2QGJ99ozFtpE/s1600-h/IMG_0214.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332073591161494258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA8aRLEGCwlSm2vjIb506Vd6-i2QF1Tgxaqoc9W9lVT_Hu6JkV6nUc-YRbxR2tyYjVjf1-Q9fP2e08ZmFBV48ase1Zk4QCTeHccKpOXJEVEsUIeXzr1j0SSWzLPw16g2s2QGJ99ozFtpE/s400/IMG_0214.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 528px; height: 703px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5w-c6WBsJZ8nEUmd4YpDqKGd9-zaT5qqt0TMxDn47jTwM89CqhWamwVhffwd_27TCby1IEqmwdp-iep8hynuiSJONLKks-s66C7Gtv5aCMo6udrA-XKwzk5GWFq05XvhFkawgX6y8ySI/s1600-h/IMG_0213.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332145851206368354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5w-c6WBsJZ8nEUmd4YpDqKGd9-zaT5qqt0TMxDn47jTwM89CqhWamwVhffwd_27TCby1IEqmwdp-iep8hynuiSJONLKks-s66C7Gtv5aCMo6udrA-XKwzk5GWFq05XvhFkawgX6y8ySI/s400/IMG_0213.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; width: 529px; height: 704px;" /></a><br />base detail:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUXyYb7C-62aPQ2EndW6ioDI06ly70hFcDa3dVYURk2q1xGkQBMBMl9IPkfywQ2Uvh19sJ2Jv-yWhyphenhyphengrhEGFPkR7l0HZ-0RCM3bWPh1nSamfuhDnqkB21doaygPkTs5puOwpz9uPfYyTU/s1600-h/IMG_0203.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332145242555609202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUXyYb7C-62aPQ2EndW6ioDI06ly70hFcDa3dVYURk2q1xGkQBMBMl9IPkfywQ2Uvh19sJ2Jv-yWhyphenhyphengrhEGFPkR7l0HZ-0RCM3bWPh1nSamfuhDnqkB21doaygPkTs5puOwpz9uPfYyTU/s400/IMG_0203.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 700px;" /></a><br />Starck's Firelamp for Baccarat:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZoZVdYo2sbSlVqhmDO_pecDPIM7EP2d_KnlTYT2v-DCBTO3LyZJ3a9ijpna6bsY1abb5cf42mGLaGngJR3RSEPrmopHo2Fhb032j6V18t8aJyZvKZahfy091vblmqha3ECHrD3wUAFYc/s1600-h/Our-fire-lamp.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332146061632854594" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZoZVdYo2sbSlVqhmDO_pecDPIM7EP2d_KnlTYT2v-DCBTO3LyZJ3a9ijpna6bsY1abb5cf42mGLaGngJR3RSEPrmopHo2Fhb032j6V18t8aJyZvKZahfy091vblmqha3ECHrD3wUAFYc/s400/Our-fire-lamp.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 529px; height: 529px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Table Lamp aka HOOO!!!:</span><br />49 editions of the table lamp will be made.

It contains about 100 LEDs, a processor, on/off switch and a battery to produce a fully functional text display on a board of 25mm by 25mm in size. To fit all components in an aesthetically pleasing layout required many days of manual optimisation and the first working prototype was soldered by hand to test the design.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">special thanks to </span><a href="http://www.domusweb.it/" style="font-style: italic;">Domus</a><span style="font-style: italic;">, </span><a href="http://www.designws.com/" style="font-style: italic;">DesignWS</a><span style="font-style: italic;"> and </span><a href="http://www.corriere.it/" style="font-style: italic;">Corriere </a><span style="font-style: italic;">for additional images</span></span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.baccarat.com/">Baccarat</a><br /><a href="http://www.starck.com/">Philipe Starck</a><br /><a href="http://www.jennyholzer.com/">Jenny Holzer</a><br /><a href="http://www.flos.com/">Flos</a><br><br>
