Gambosa

A lamp in balance. A modern take on the table lamp

The new Gambosa lamp looks like a balanced sculpture in sophisticated colours. Its creator, Mathias Hahn, has provided a modern take on the table lamp, a design that challenges the product’s traditionally static and rigid nature.

A design, made of steel, that simplifies the structural elements of a table lamp (shade, stem and base), joining them together without them apparently being connected. Its curved shade seems to float delicately, adding a dynamic touch, whilst the stem is supported on a flat base, the only element to provide stability. Gambosa is a combination of geometries in balance that interact harmoniously with each other.

However, the beauty of this table lamp doesn’t come solely from its composition; it’s defined by its palette of colours. The shade is available in pale pink or black, opaque versions that provide a direct light, or in opal methacrylate for softer illumination. The stem is available in orange and moss grey and the base in stone grey. This range of colours has created a matrix collection of different versions, each with their own aesthetic, from subdued to more expressive. It’s available in two sizes: 26 cm in diameter and 30 cm in height, and 36 cm in diameter and 41 cm in height. The cable also forms part of the lamp’s design, descending from the top while a clip guides it, anchors it and stops it from escaping, adding to the overall visual appeal.

Gambosa is a revamped table lamp: familiar and recognised as such but surprising in terms of its contemporary shapes and colours.
