MULTIFORME — TRIPOP

“Don’t call it a lamp. It’s an alien domestic organism landed on Earth to rescue us from boredom. Designer Matteo Cibic and the artisan-scientists of Multiforme intercepted Tripops bouncing through the cosmos to a 1960s space-lounge soundtrack. They are peaceful rounded creatures marked by a marvelous mutation: oversized red, green, and blue glass polka dots blooming across their white skin. They hate leashes, so they have no cables. Free and portable, they are battery-powered and follow you everywhere, landing on pocket-sized polished chrome spaceships. One warning: if you touch them to dim the light, they begin to whisper. It’s said to be their way of purring.”
