geen-a portable
Design Ferruccio Laviani, 2022
Polyester powder-coated steel
Made in Italy by Kartell
MINI GEEN-A is reinventing the reading lamp with a battery powered table-top version that maintains the clean lines of the original while facilitating mobility and increasing opportunities for use.
"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 Portable is suitable for outdoor use with an IP 54 rating, integrated dimmer, and rechargeable battery.
7.9" diameter | 14.4" h | bulb: integrated 1.5w LED (2700K - 200 lumens - dimmable - IP54)
