About the workThe toy figure of a Tyrannosaurus rex forms the body of this lamp by German designer Michel Feith. The head has been detached and replaced by a light bulb. The idea behind these whimsical objects was to offer an alternative to uniform and often boring industrial products. In his work, Feith broke away from the traditional definition of design in order to create functional furniture and objects that conform to aesthetic norms.
