The arched Coupé with its semi-spherical lamp head is indeed an exceptional lamp and is extremely complex to manufacture. In addition to the curved arm it has a grooved base with a special plastic handle to adjust the lamp head and the arched arm itself to different heights. The lamp head is also fitted with a particular joint to adjust its inclination. The base is round but straight at the back, ideal for flush fitting against the wall.
In his brief but brilliant career, Italian industrial designer Joe Colombo produced a series of innovative designs which made him one of Italy’s most influential Italian product designers of the 20th century.
Thanks to this energy and optimism Joe Colombo produced an extraordinarily broad body of work in his tragically short career. Colombo’s modern lighting and furniture products are produced under license by international brands like Oluce, Kartell, Bieffe, Alessi, Flexform and Karakter Copenhagen.
