Let the Obello Lamp light up your interior or pick it up and carry it outside to create the sense of an ‘outdoor room.’
Pioneer of the first ‘total look’ 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.
The shade is made from mouth-blown glass – a challenge given its shape – as a nod to old petroleum lanterns, and the portable size makes it easy to carry; this materiality and craftsmanship adds value and tactility, making each lamp unique.
The dimmer switch means it can be turned up as the sun goes down to extend the evening beyond dusk.
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.
The integrated dual-output LED and frosted shade ensure an even light distribution and the same look from all angles.
While the lamp should be stored and charged indoors, it is splash-proof and so will withstand the odd rainshower, as well as sand and soil.
If you’re happy to be outside – so is the Obello.
