Published by Gubi, Unbound is a collection of lighting that is both ethereal and functional, a pared-down version of the traditional Japanese paper lantern that shakes up conventions with its playful asymmetry. Unbound is the result of design studio Space Copenhagen's desire to create a practical yet poetic lamp with a sculptural character, but without being imposing. Taking the ship's lantern as its starting point, Space Copenhagen set out to simplify the typology to its purest expression. The marble base plays the role of an anchor, embodying immobility and weight. It contrasts with the textile shade, which seems to float above the base. Swivelling through 360°, the shade can be perfectly aligned with the marble base or completely off-centre, creating a sculptural asymmetry. Designed to create a soft, zen-like ambience, the UnboundGubi lamp swivels easily in an almost poetic way. The full-height LEDs and the textile shade create a warm, diffused light in any space. Unbound is available as a table lamp and as a floor lamp, available in two heights.

Space Copenhagen is a Danish multidisciplinary design studio founded in 2005 by Bindslev Henriksen and Peter Bundgaard Rützou. They work at the crossroads of disciplines, from furniture and lighting to art installations, interior design for private homes, hotels and restaurants around the world, and art direction. Their ambition is to blaze new trails by balancing opposites: classic and modern, industrial and organic, light and shade, duality and contrast. They call their approach Poetic Modernism. The principles of functionality, slow design and the study of human behaviour guide their work. The result is quality and longevity. Their various collaborations with Fredericia, AndTradition, Gubi and Mater demonstrate their ability to break with codes and constantly renew themselves. The Swoon armchair is one of their iconic creations. The use of soft colours and natural materials such as wood, stone, leather and brass develop a patina over time and lend a certain charm to objects.
