The Gubi Hornbæk portable lamp, designed for the CORI Hornbæk Hotel, captures the atmosphere of the Danish north coast in a sculptural and poetic light fixture. Textured and refined, it carries with it the quiet magic of life by the sea wherever it goes: the shifting light reflected on the water, the long evenings outdoors, the simple pleasure of carrying a warm glow from one place to another.
Inspired by sails catching the wind and the lanterns that guided sailors along the shore, it combines a pleated fabric shade with a hand-glazed ceramic base and an elegant, functional antique brass handle. The Poppy Yellow edition broadens the scope of the design, allowing it to travel beyond Hornbæk whilst maintaining a deep connection to its maritime origins. The colour introduces a sunny accent, inspired by the golden light of summer evenings and coastal flowers: a shade that carries with it the gentle warmth of blooming poppies.
The Gubi Hornbæk portable lamp is a natural companion for summer evenings in sheltered outdoor spaces — terraces, porches, gardens — but also finds its place in cosy conservatories, where it blends in discreetly and creates an intimate, soft, deeply evocative atmosphere.
