GUBI Stemlite Wall Lamp is an American evergreen from back when everything was possible—the US reached various civil rights milestones, landed on the moon, and made pop culture a global phenomenon—and the organic futuristic shape pays tribute to the zeitgeist that rushed through the streets of the US, where the Star-Spangled Banner waved from flagpoles behind white picket fences on green lawns.
If you ever watched Star Trek, you might have noticed Stemlite on the clinical chrome-coated interiors of the spaceships—and when Bill Curry designed the lamp in Los Angeles, it was with the Space Race and the future he was facing in mind. It’s a lamp packed with meaning, and GUBI’s relaunch is a great way to be reminded of a time when everything was possible. The lamp now comes with a built-in dimmer.
