Flos Bibliotheque Nationale E27 floor lamp

Multifunctional design with practical use

The Bibliotheque Nationale is not only a stylish floor lamp, but also a clever storage solution. Thanks to the shiny stainless steel brackets that serve as small shelves, you can put your favourite books, magazines or small decorations on it. In this way, light becomes not only a lighting element but also a functional part of the interior - ideal next to a reading chair, for example.

Technology and comfort in one

An interesting feature is the built-in USB port located directly in the base of the lamp, which allows you to charge common devices such as smartphones and tablets. This unobtrusive but very practical feature reflects Philippe Starck's design philosophy - combining aesthetics, innovation and everyday comfort.
