Gubi - Stemlite floor lamp black chrome H110 cm.

Gubi Stemlite floor lamp black-chrome 110 cm.

A 1962 design by legendary American designer Bill Curry, he took inspiration from nature for the Stemlite collection: the sleek, cast metal base resembles a sturdy but delicate stem of a tulip, which carries the beautiful glass shade like a fragile button waiting to open.

American designer Bill Curry (1927-1971) captured the zeitgeist of the 1960s and ‘70s with his iconic lamp designs. From his unique Los Angeles vantage point at the meeting point of art, design and engineering, during an era defined by the space race, pop culture and a new forward-looking optimism, he translated the wonder and delight he saw around him into simple yet intelligent ideas with clear visual narratives. 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.
