Description

The Lotus Table Lamp is a sculptural lighting piece originally designed by Italian glass artist Carlo Nason in 1969 and later reissued by GUBI. Inspired by the unfolding petals of a lotus flower, the lamp features four individually mouth-blown glass shades nested within one another to create a layered, flower-like silhouette. Each shade is crafted using the traditional pulegoso glassmaking technique, which introduces thousands of tiny air bubbles into the glass, producing a textured, semi-opaque surface. When illuminated, the overlapping glass layers gently diffuse the light, creating a soft glow while revealing variations in transparency and the intricate arrangement of the shades. A precisely engineered steel structure with a black chrome finish supports the glass components, providing a dark metallic contrast to their luminous surfaces.

Design is an unceasing continuum, believes this Danish house, now owned by a second generation. Owner and creative director Jacob Gubi Olsen inherited the helm from his parents Gubi and Lisbeth Larson, who founded the business to showcase their postmodern furniture. Under Jacob’s watch, Gubi added a global focus to its roots in Copenhagen, with a cosmopolitan array of furniture, lighting and interior objects.

Alongside 20th Century icons such as Robert Dudley Best and Greta Magnusson-Grossman, the design house has championed a new wave of design studios including GamFratesi, Space Copenhagen and OeO Studio. “I started out with two very strong designs, Bestlite—a Bauhaus collection designed in 1930—and Gubi Chair, designed in 2003. I felt they had something in common,” says Jacobs. “Iconic appearance, functional design, high quality, aesthetic design language and adaptable for many different kinds of interiors. I took these values as a guideline for any new designs added to the collection ever since.”
