FLOS
Snoopy 50th Limited Edition
OK, this is not strictly new but the Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni designed lamp made its debut back in 1967 and immediately became an icon. To celebrate its 50th anniversary last year, Flos has released a limited edition of the Snoopy (so name for its resemblance of the free-spirited character in the Peanuts cartoon) that is based on a prototype that has been carefully preserved at the Achille Castiglioni Foundation. While the traditional cylindrical base, formed from precious veined white marble, and the three cooling holes that resemble a bowling ball grip have been retained, its unmistakable snout-shaped reflector now has an elegant matt black embossed powder finish that replicates the original prototype. A design as timeless as the character that inspired it, this edition is limited to 1,700 pieces worldwide.
