Binic lamp for Foscarini

A lighthouse on the coast of Brittany is the inspiration behind Ionna Vautrin’s delightful ’Binic’ table lamp.

Binic lamp for Foscarini

BY

February 8th, 2011

Binic is the name of a lighthouse on the coast of Ionna Vautrin’s native Brittany, and the designer’s latest product for Foscarini is a mini beacon of light.

 

The lamp’s form is based on the wind socks of ships.

 

Vautrin has incorporated an almost cartoon-like shape which gives it an engaging character, like a compact reading-companion.

 

Binic is available in 6 colours – white, green, amaranth, orange, petrol, and grey – to suit any personality and any decor.

 

Binic is available in Australia through Space Furniture.

The difference between music and noise is partly how we feel when we hear it. Similarly, the way people respond to an indoor space is based on sensory qualities such as colour, texture, shapes, scents and sound.
