Lightweight and portable, the GUBI Obello Lamp boasts a novel silhouette, innovatively crafted as one singular piece from mouth-blown glass. Boasting a long-lasting battery life that provides up to 40 hours of light, it can be used indoors and out and withstand the odd rain shower, sand, and soil.
Diffusing an ambient glow, its integrated dimmable LED light source offers various lighting levels from the equivalent of a single candle to full illumination.
American designer William ‘Bill’ Edwin Curry (1927-1971) captured the zeitgeist of the 1960s and ‘70s with his iconic lamp designs.
Beginning his career as a graphic designer and art director in the aero-tech industry, he launched his own home furnishings company, Design Line Inc in 1962. Credited with developing the first ‘total look’ lamp forms – eliminating the base-bulb-shade concept and instead exploiting the bare bulb in a playful, self-contained unit – he was recognized as one of California’s leading designers by the time he died at the age of just 43.
