Serpentine in shape, beautifully balanced and brilliant, the Aspide lamp by Gianfranco Frattini published by Gubi is both a practical piece of design and an irresistibly playful design statement. First developed in 1970, Aspide is a swivel table lamp that looks like no other lamp before or after it, but still expresses the material and aesthetic tastes of its time.
Aspide has been designed as a versatile task light that can be manually adjusted to create either direct light for work or reading, or turned towards the wall to create a softer ambient glow. The body of the lamp can be rotated through 350 degrees at neck and head level. A counterweight in the base ensures that the lamp remains stable and will not tip over.
Created by Lisbeth and Olsen Gubi, the brand Gubi is a Danish company that has been re-editing some of the greatest design classics since 1967. Based in the docks of Copenhagen, the Gubi headquarters spans 2000 square meters in a former tobacco factory, now renovated into a vast modern loft-style showroom. One of the iconic pieces of the Gubi brand is the Pacha armchair. This armchair by Pierre Paulin embodies the innovative spirit and timeless elegance of Gubi. The Gubi chairs are renowned for their innovative design and exceptional comfort, seamlessly blending contemporary aesthetics with functionality. These iconic pieces evoke emotions and tell meaningful stories, making them both timeless and enduring.
