Designer: Mario Paroli
Manufacturer: SELETTI
A familiar desk essential gets a seriously oversized makeover with the Black BIC Lamp by Mario Paroli. Inspired by the iconic BIC® Cristal pen and recreated at a striking 12:1 scale, this statement light turns one of the world’s most recognizable everyday objects into functional design.
Finished in classic black, the BIC® Lamp has all the familiar details of the original pen, just on a much bigger scale. At over 70 inches tall, it has a playful presence that works beautifully as a floor lamp, wall lamp, or pendant light, adding an unexpected focal point to a living room, office, studio, or creative space.
The fun doesn’t stop at the design. A 22W T8 LED delivers 2,400 lumens of warm 3000K light, giving this conversation-starting piece plenty of practical illumination. Made from PC and HDPE, it’s designed to capture the look and feel of the original BIC® Cristal while functioning as a fully usable modern light.
