The Coppia Table Lamp is a new sculptural twin-bulb table lamp designed for GUBI by Vibeke Fonnesberg Schmidt. Featuring two discs of Fonnesberg Schmidt’s signature plexiglass housed in a curving metal case, the elegantly industrial design represents both a new material and a new designer for GUBI. The fluid yet geometric design is sturdy enough to be used as either a table or floor lamp, moving easily from desktop to bedside, shelf to windowsill as desired. Coppia is available in tempered, brushed stainless steel, its bronze glow contrasting with a choice of three nature-inspired plexiglass colorways: Ivory/Blush, Ivory/Olive, and Ivory/Clover. PLAYING WITH GEOMETRY Named for the Italian word for ‘couple,’ the Coppia Table Lamp by Vibeke Fonnesberg Schmidt walks the line between design and sculpture – a characteristic of much of her work as a lighting designer. Coppia sits at the intersection of art, design, and craft, finding beauty by playing with geometry. MEETING OF MATERIALS True to its name, Coppia is a design that celebrates pairings, meetings, and dualities. In Coppia, Fonnesberg Schmidt brings together two materials – stainless steel and plexiglass – in a double-shaded table lamp. Elegantly contoured, the lamp is formed from two sets of plexiglass discs in different sizes, pinned in place within a band of curved stainless steel, thus maintaining the shape of the lamp. SIGNATURE AMBIANCE In Coppia, the discs soften and diffuse the light from the central bulbs, creating a beautiful reflection on the surface of the steel.
