Tahiti is an ironic zoomorphic lamp that resembles a toy: the head contains a light bulb, ideal for brightening a table.
The base in black and white laminate with the Bacterio pattern supports a yellow stem underscored by a black foot, to support the round pink “head” which rotates to aim the light from the red beak in the desired direction.
Created by Ettore Sottsass in 1981, Tahiti immediately became one of the great Memphis protagonists, in clear contrast with functionalism.
