Stemlite floor lamp:Bill Curry's modernist iconImagined in 1962 by American designer Bill Curry, the Stemlite floor lamp marked a turning point in the history of lighting. Considered the first total-look lamp, it broke with the traditional structure of base and lampshade to create a unified, sculptural object. Reissued today by GUBI, this iconic floor lamp retains all the modernity that earned it the title of most influential lamp of the year by Industrial Design magazine in 1965. Its presence on the set of the original Star Trek series also helped to establish its silhouette in the visual imagination of the 20th century. A modernist silhouette with a cult followingThe Stemlite Floor lamp is distinguished by its slender, perfectly balanced lines. Its slender stem supports a luminous globe that seems to float at the top of the structure. This minimalist design embodies the mid-century design aesthetic and space-age technological optimism of the 1960s. The hand-blown opaline glass diffuser has a shiny, delicately milky surface that accentuates the graphic purity of the whole. Available in two heights, it structures the space with elegance and lightness. Soft, enveloping lightThanks to its Opaline globe, the Stemlite floor lamp diffuses a soft, even light that envelops the room in a warm atmosphere. Each diffuser is crafted by glass artisans, giving each Lamp a singular presence.
