Imagine you are sitting in the foyer of your favourite boutique hotel and your iPad or iPhone is low on juice. The connection to your on-line life is unacceptably threatened and you need to take urgent action. For many this is a frightening scenario, but be reassured it has been stylishly addressed with the new DE Light by Flos, designed by Philip Starck.
There is a particularly abstract or even hypnotic quality to this light when an iPad is docked on to it. I could just about imagine gazing curiously at it for half an hour whilst waiting for a charge. It uses LEDs as the light source.
