QB1 Reinterprets Bulkhead lamp for Galleria Luisa delle Piane
QB1, designed by Philippe Tabet, revisits the traditional bulkhead lamp commonly used in industrial and outdoor environments. The fixture, developed for Galleria Luisa delle Piane, retains the defining elements of the reference object, a protective metal grid and a compact, functional form, while reinterpreting them through a contemporary design approach.

Interplay of Structure and Light informs Philippe Tabet’s Design
The lamp consists of an aluminum cage and a frosted glass diffuser, creating a deliberate interplay between structure and light. A custom LED plate is positioned behind the glass to ensure even, controlled illumination. The piece continues designer Philippe Tabet’s interest in the relationship between object, form, and expression, drawing on themes explored in his earlier work with masks and facial typologies.
