The GUBI Obello Portable Lamp brings Bill Curry's iconic Space Age design into a contemporary, cordless format. Originally created by the American designer in 1971, the mushroom-shaped Obello is celebrated for its sculptural silhouette, expressive use of colour, and distinctive balance of softness and futuristic form.

Following its reintroduction by GUBI in 2022 in frosted glass, the Obello Portable Lamp is now available in a selection of luminous pastel colours. Each version features a glossy finish that enhances the lamp's rounded silhouette, creating a warm and inviting presence whether displayed indoors or carried outdoors.

Designed for flexibility, the portable Obello features an integrated LED light source and rechargeable battery, allowing it to be placed wherever additional ambient lighting is desired without being restricted by a power outlet. Its dimmable function allows the light level to be adjusted to suit different settings, from intimate evenings to relaxed entertaining.

Compact yet visually distinctive, the Obello works beautifully on dining tables, bedside tables, consoles, patios, balconies, and outdoor entertaining spaces. Combining playful colour, sculptural form, and practical portability, it is a contemporary interpretation of Bill Curry's enduring design legacy.
