Flos Romeo soft table

The Romeo Soft T is part of a range of beautiful floor, table and ceiling lights from Flos. Designed by the inimitable Philippe Starck the lights demonstrate the near ceaseless pleasure he takes in hidden detail. It could be argued that the internal diffuser in the Romeo Soft does not necessarily need to be made from acid etched borosilicate glass but that is the whole point, it is there to be discovered. Resting in a delicate yolk at the top of the grey light stem the diffuser can only be seen if you look for it. It has a purpose other than being something worth finding as it softens and focuses the not inconsiderable light, giving a beautiful steady presence. The rest of the lamp of course is designed to be seen and is very worthy of our attention from the large disc base to the grey metal stem topped with an ivory pleated fabric outer shade. The Romeo Soft T has a sister light the Romeo Moon which has the same lovely details but with an outer shade made of ribbed glass. Both lights come in two sizes the T1 and the T2, a bulb is not included.
