Created by Ferruccio Laviani for Kartell, Bourgie is a table lamp which fuses tradition and modernity. Its baroque-style base is made from three embellished and intersecting levels, and its large shade is pleated to create thousands of reflections when the lamp is turned on. Three different heights are possible (68cm, 73cm, 78 cm) thanks to the special hanging system built into the lampshade. Choose the height at which you wish to mount the lamp, then adapt it depending on its intended use. Bourgie is available in a silver, crystal, or black finish.
Born in Cremona, Italy, in 1960, Ferruccio Laviani graduated in architecture from the Milan Polytechnic. Ferruccio Laviani began his career working for designer Michele De Lucchi, before opening his own studio in 1991. At the same time, he also became artistic director of Kartell, a brand for which he designed the Bourgie, Take and Cindy lamps, each of which has become a classic for the Italian manufacturer. He works with other major brands such as Foscarini, Moroso and Flos to create retail spaces. He also organised the exhibition "Technique Discrètes: le design du mobilier italien 1980-1990" at the Louvre in Paris. Art director, industrial designer and space designer, Ferruccio Laviani is one of the most popular contemporary designers today.
