Целта обаче е потребителите да имат готова версия в рамките на две години, на цена от около 10 000 £ ($ 14,600).

A close detail of Flos Tatou Table Lamp Initially, Urquiola was inspired by the architecture of an antique Samurai armour - a set of metal rings cleverly tied with ribbons. Samurai means warrior in Japanese, so the initial concept aimed to represent resistance and strength along with lightness and dynamism. It was a reference to the protective shell. “I was looking at modules of metal crossed with fiber and making a really powerful and emotional suspension lamp.” Patricia Urquiola's 'Tatou' collection of lamps has its UK launch at FLOS, Clerkenwell Photography: Sabine Zetteler The studies for Tatou's modular plates began with wood and metal - Urquiola firs...
