Koho contrasts well with the classic Egg, signature brand Fontanarte which has also created an interesting outdoor version, satin opal polyethylene, obtained by the process of rotational molding.

To make Egg firmer, in addition to a stainless steel base incorporated, the lamp is also provided with anchor bolts to anchor it better to the ground, where it is to be placed in the ground in the garden, adding all with a power cable of about 5 meters length for attachment to the electric power.

Lights for outdoor living room

If we really want to overdo in elegance, you can throw on something that reminds the mere sight of the classic living rooms, only outdoors.
Just take a look at Superarchimoon, design by Philippe Starck for Flos.

The lamp looks like a giant reading light, existing in indoor version. The external diffusor is obtained with an interesting blend of tubular PVC, echoed by an internal molded diffuser in polycarbonate.

Clearly, in order to adapt perfectly the base material for continuous exposure to atmospheric agents, the whole is subjected to a galvanizing process.
Perfect for large terraces or gardens with views of details.

Superarchimoon can easily be coupled to other models of the brand Flos, as the floor lamp Ktribe F3 Outdoor, designed to obtain a pleasant diffused light outdoors.
Here too the basic materials have undergone the same process of fortification and the diffuser is also made in PVC, so as to resist longer outdoors.

The lamp in this case can be easily used both in the vicinity of points of the electricity, both, with extension, even in areas of the garden or terrace, where it is required, even if only for certain occasions, the mood light, like a lounge.
