This Playful Table Lamp is Highly Sustainable

This playful table lamp is highly sustainable and isn’t based on renewable natural resources.

Bilboquet is a playful table lamp designed by Philippe Malouin for Flos. It’s aptly named for the 16th century French game Bilboquet and is small in stature, but packs a punch with its quirky design and commitment to sustainability. The lamp consists of two colored cylinders connected by a magnetic sphere that acts as a joint and allows the removable upper cylinder to rotate and direct the flow of light.

Its external body is made of a polycarbonate material derived from a byproduct of paper production rather than petroleum; it’s not based on renewable natural resources and doesn’t involve exploitation of land or waste of water. Available in three colors: Sage, Tomato and Linen.
