This giant lamp looks like the iconic Bic Cristal pen
What's the story
In a unique design twist, Italian brand Seletti has launched a lamp inspired by the iconic Bic Cristal pen. The 'Bic Lamp' was unveiled at the 2026 Maison&Objet show in Paris. It is an oversized replica of the original pen, created at a 12:1 scale and measuring just under six feet long. The Bic Lamp comes in red, black, and blue color options to match its smaller counterpart.

The Bic Lamp is not just a visual replica of the Bic Cristal pen, but also a functional lighting solution. It replaces the traditional ink cartridge with an LED-filled tube that can produce up to 2,400 lumens of light. The lamp can be hung from the ceiling as a pendant lamp, mounted on walls, or used as a standalone floor lamp, offering versatility in its use.
