"The gold on the guns represents the collusion of money and war. Table gun represents the East; Bedside gun Europe; Lounge gun the West. The black shade represents death; the crosses inside remind us of our dead.” Ph.S The Gun Collection by Philippe Starck for @flos was conceived in 2005 as an open condemnation of war and violence. Ever since its launch in 2005, 20% of the profits from the sales of these provocative designs has been donated to Frères des Hommes (now AMREF) non-governmental organization dedicated to supporting the growth of developing countries, especially in Africa, many of which are blighted by grueling conflict. #PhilippeStarck #Starck #bystarck #designbystarck #flos #gun #inspiration #subversion #politics #helping #support #commitment
