Featured in the Miss K range created by Philippe Stark for Flos, K Tribe S2 is the pendant light version. The designer plays with classic lighting forms for this pendant light which provides diffused light. It is characterised by the two diffusers that create a unique lighting effect. When switched on, light emitted by K Tribe completely reveals its internal matt white polycarbonate diffuser. The transparent external diffuser is made of PMMA. This light is suspended with the help of three stainless steel cables with a maximum length of 400cm.
Born in Paris in 1949, Philippe Starck is one of today's most original and prolific designers. Philippe Starck has become a hallowed figure of international design. A self-proclaimed "autodidact" after a spell at the Camondo school, he was already a company director even before he came of age. An inspired Jack-of-all-trades, he has no hesitation in revisiting the styles and icons of the past. While he regularly works in the world of luxury, he is also credited with democratising design. He has worked extensively with a wide range of industrial partners, particularly furniture manufacturers such as Cassina, Driade and Kartell. The Mademoiselle bridge combines an airy polycarbonate structure with a comfortable seat in polyurethane upholstered in fabrics emblematic of various Italian designers (Missoni, D&G and Valentino). He won major prizes such as the Grand Prix National de la Création industrielle and the Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects. Philippe Starck describes himself as "a Japanese architect, an American set designer, a German industrial designer, a French art director and an Italian furniture designer". He also works with lighting and tableware manufacturers such as Baccarat and Flos on the KTribe collection.
