Fort Knox Wall Lamp by Flos was designed by Philippe Starck, taking its provocative name from the heavily fortified United States gold depository and translating this reference directly into a wall lamp protected behind a robust perforated metal grille. The grille both shields the light source and creates a distinctive pattern of shadow and light as illumination passes through its perforations, giving Fort Knox a genuinely industrial, almost security-installation aesthetic rare among Starck's more overtly elegant lighting designs for Flos. Its industrial, protected aesthetic makes it an effective choice wherever a wall light with genuine visual character is the specification intent.
The Fort Knox Wall Lamp's perforated grille produces a distinctive patterned glow, casting a scattered geometric shadow pattern across the surrounding wall and ceiling rather than a conventional even light wash. This industrial, protected aesthetic makes it an effective specification choice for contemporary loft interiors, hospitality environments seeking an edgier design register, and any application where a wall light with genuine visual character and provocative design narrative is the specification intent. Its perforated grille also provides genuine physical protection for the light source in higher-traffic public applications.
Architects and interior designers specifying Fort Knox for residential and hospitality wall-lighting applications will find the DWG drawing and CAD block useful for mounting coordination and elevation documentation. The 3D model supports BIM-accurate spatial planning. A distinctive specification for any project requiring industrially inflected wall lighting with genuine design character., a distinctive choice for contemporary loft and industrial interiors.
Available as a 2D DWG drawing and 3D model.
