Miss K Table Lamp

$590

Made by Flos

Designed by Philippe Starck

Philippe Starck designed the Miss K as a study in duality. At rest, the injection-molded polycarbonate shade carries a dark metallic tint, its surface quiet and considered. Switch it on, and the material becomes nearly translucent, the bulb visible in full silhouette as though the lamp is revealing its own anatomy.

That transformation is the point. Starck has long treated objects as carriers of cultural commentary, and the Miss K is no exception. Its fluid pedestal base and feminine profile reference mid-century decorative tradition, while the material language belongs entirely to the contemporary.

Frequently Asked Questions

What material is the Miss K shade made from?

The shade is injection-molded polycarbonate with an aluminized external coating. This combination creates the lamp's signature effect: dark and opaque at rest, nearly translucent when lit, revealing the bulb in full silhouette.

Who designed the Flos Miss K lamp?

The Miss K was designed by Philippe Starck for Flos. Starck is known for objects that carry cultural and conceptual weight alongside strong formal identity, and the Miss K reflects his interest in materials that behave differently under different conditions.

What type of light does the Miss K emit?

The aluminized exterior coating on the polycarbonate shade produces a warm, diffused light output, softening the glow while allowing the bulb's silhouette to remain visible through the translucent body.

Is the Miss K suited for residential or contract use?

The Miss K works well in both residential and hospitality contexts. Its compact footprint and sculptural presence make it a considered choice for bedside tables, desks, and intimate interior settings.

How does the Miss K relate to mid-century lamp design?

Starck drew on the proportions and feminine curves of mid-century decorative lamps as a reference point, then reinterpreted them through a contemporary industrial material. The result is a form that feels both familiar and quietly subversive.
