Inspired by the speedy roadrunner who eternally mocks the coyote in the classic American cartoon, Bibip is a floor lamp that is almost not there. Its slim stem supports an elegant head in ceramic, the most traditional insulating material for electrical appliances, which hosts the bulb. A steel screen can be rotated around the bulb by means of a round handle to direct the light toward the ceiling or toward the floor.
