Serpentine in shape, beautifully balanced and brilliant, the Aspide lamp by Gianfranco Frattini published by Gubi is both a practical piece of design and an irresistibly playful design statement. First developed in 1970, Aspide is a swivel table lamp that looks like no other lamp before or after it, but still expresses the material and aesthetic tastes of its time.
Aspide has been designed as a versatile task light that can be manually adjusted to create either direct light for work or reading, or turned towards the wall to create a softer ambient glow. The body of the lamp can be rotated through 350 degrees at neck and head level. A counterweight in the base ensures that the lamp remains stable and will not tip over.
