geen-a floor lamp
Design Ferruccio Laviani, 2020
Polyester powder-coated steel
Made in Italy by Kartell
"Why Geen-a? There were many reasons why I ended up designing this lamp, but it's possible to summarize them all under the simple banner of 'the pleasure of reading'. Geen-a is what people used to call my mother Giacomina, who I always remember with a book in her hand, reading intently. This is a small tribute to her and a homage to one pleasure that can never be replaced by technology. The sensuality of touching the paper, the smell of the pages, the curiosity triggered by the cover, the unique ability of books to extract us from reality and transport us into fantastical worlds and situations, using nothing but our own brains." - Ferruccio Laviani
Geen-a is Kartell's reading lamp, supplementing the brand's lighting range with a product designed for this specific purpose. The simple lines conceal a real sense of attitude, while the clean shape has a familiar yet intriguing effect. The piece consists of a base, a light shade, three LED bulbs, a stem and a handle for easy transportation. This is a simple lamp, just as reading is one of life's simple pleasures.
* 3x E26 LED (max 5W) - not included
* IP 20
