Aspide Table Lamp

Aspide Table Lamp by Gianfranco Frattini for Gubi.

Developed in 1970, the Aspide is a unique table lamp designed by Gianfranco Frattini. Its serpentine shape, balanced structure, and chrome coating give it a distinctive appearance, resembling a sleek jewel. Named after the Italian word for 'asp', the lamp's sinuous, snake-like form adds an element of playfulness to its design.

Frattini believed in merging function with materials, evident in the Aspide's organic form, sculptural beauty, and versatile functionality. Constructed with large curved iron tubes and a steel shaft, the lamp allows for seamless rotation, offering users control over light direction and intensity. Designed for both task and ambient lighting, the Aspide complements various interior styles with its chrome finish, blending in while making a statement.
