Ionna Vautrin - a local from Brittany on the Coast of France - was inspired by the world of the Sea. It was this inspiration that drove her to model the shape of the Foscarini Binic Table Lamp after windsocks - a tube of cloth mounted on a pole to indicate the direction and strength of the wind on a boat. She named the Binic after a lighthouse in her hometown to integrate a singular seaside theme from design to designation. This evocative lamp emits a very cozy light that defines an array of different personal spaces, from a child’s bedroom to an office, and can be easily transported anywhere due to its energy-saving bulb. Like a projector that points towards a well defined spot, the Binic Table Lamp focuses its glow on a single, solitary position – exemplifying a mini lighthouse spotlighting the shore, guiding lost sailors home.
