Description
Product Description
The Stemlite (1962) was the first ‘total look’ lamp, a pioneering new typology conceived by American designer Bill Curry, which replaced the traditional base-plus-shade form with a single self-contained unit comprising interchangeable modules. His debut design was named “most influential lamp of the year” by Industrial Design Magazine in 1965, was used on the set of the original Star Trek TV series, and remained in production until 1977. Remastered by GUBI after almost half a century, the collection comprises two table lamps, two floor lamps and a pendant. Today’s Stemlite remains true to Curry’s designs, comprising three of the original heights; a second, taller floor lamp has been added and a pendant and wall lamp have been engineered from the original design. A counterweight has been hidden in the negative space of the foot to meet contemporary safety and stability requirements.
Opal Glass
Opal glass was central to Bill Curry’s vision for Stemlite. Chosen for its smooth surface and balanced light diffusion, it gives the lamp a distinctive, refined presence. The glossy finish reflects its surroundings with gentle softness when unlit, and when illuminated diffuses light evenly across the globe.
Designer
Bill Curry (American, 1927–1971) designed the original Stemlite. Working at the intersection of art, design and engineering in Los Angeles during the 1960s and 1970s, Curry created simple yet intelligent lamp designs that captured the era’s forward-looking optimism.
