Ktribe T1 Table Lamp

Zamak is a family of zinc-based alloys valued for its ability to be die-cast to very tight tolerances, producing sharp, consistent forms and smooth, highly polishable surfaces. In the Ktribe T1, it gives the base, rod, and diffuser support their characteristic reflective finish and dimensional stability over time.

The transparent outer globe allows the lamp's form to remain visually open, while the opal inner diffuser softens and distributes the light source. The combination produces a warm, ambient glow that appears to float within the globe rather than emanate from a fixed point, reducing glare while preserving the lamp's sculptural presence.

Its diffused, ambient output and refined silhouette make it well suited to bedside tables, reading areas, and hospitality environments where atmospheric light is prioritized over task illumination. The lamp's scale and polish also make it a considered choice for design-forward living rooms and hotel suites.

Yes. Starck designed the Ktribe collection to span multiple formats, including pendant and floor lamp versions, each sharing the same double-diffuser logic and Zamak hardware. The collection allows a consistent visual language across a space at different scales.

Philippe Starck is one of the most prolific industrial and product designers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, known for work that treats objects as cultural propositions rather than purely functional solutions. His collaboration with Flos spans decades and has produced some of the brand's most recognized pieces, with Ktribe among the more conceptually focused of their joint projects.
