With its sinuous form, beautifully balanced and as lustrous as a jewel, the Aspide lamp by Gianfranco Frattini for Gubi is both a brilliant example of functional industrial design and a playful, irresistible statement of style. Designed in 1970, Aspide is a highly adjustable table lamp, unique in its kind: it resembles no other, yet perfectly embodies the material and aesthetic sensibilities of its era.
Made entirely of chrome, it features a rounded, fluid body that evokes the movement of a snake gliding through the living room. Conceived as a versatile task lamp, it can be angled to create direct light, ideal for reading or concentrating, or directed towards the wall for softer, ambient lighting. The body rotates manually by 350° at both the neck and the head, offering surprising freedom of adjustment.
Sinuous, elegant and magnetic, the Gubi Aspide table lamp accompanies moments of relaxation and reading in the living room, yet at the same time stands out as a sculptural object of great charm, capable of transforming the space with its luminous and iconic presence.
