Obello Portable Table Lamp

American designer Bill Curry designed the Obello Lamp in 1971 with a single glass form, eliminating the need for a separate base. Using the visual form of a mushroom, he took inspiration from the atomic age, space race, and pop culture that would go on to define 1970s Los Angeles. Half a century later, with the endorsement of his family, GUBI has put Curry’s innovative design into production for the first time, now as a portable version.

• Its soft glow is created by two LEDs, a brighter bulb one facing upwards, and a dimmer bulb facing downwards into the lamp’s stem.
• Obello is splash-proof and so will withstand the odd rainshower, as well as sand and soil.
• The shade is made from mouth-blown glass – a challenge given its shape.
• Portable and dimmable, coming complete with USB charging cable.
