{"title":"Bill Curry","description":"American designer Bill Curry (1927–1971) was a defining creative force of California’s Space Age design movement. Trained at the ArtCenter College of Design, Curry worked in aeronautical advertising before founding his home furnishings studio, Design Line, in El Segundo in 1962.   \n\nCurry revolutionized luminaire design by pioneering the \"total look\" lamp, discarding traditional multi-piece assemblies (base, stem, separate fabric shade) in favor of a unified, organic silhouette. Conceived in 1962, his iconic Stemlite series paired a die-cast tulip stem with a frosted mouth-blown glass globe. Voted \"Most Influential Lamp of the Year\" in 1965 by Industrial Design Magazine, it appeared on the original Star Trek set. Today, the Stemlite and playful Obello mushroom lamp are faithfully reissued by Danish house GUBI.","products":[{"product_id":"obello-table-lamp-frosted-glass","title":"Obello Portable Lamp","description":"With a frosted, mouth-blown glass shade, as used for Curry’s original lamps, and integrated dimmable-LED light source, the rechargeable lamp can easily be moved between inside and out. With a complete charge in four and a half hours, providing up to 40 hours of light at 10% brightness, 12 hours at 40% and 5 hours at 100%, Obello will create a cozy atmosphere as the sun starts to set and last well into the night. The Obello Lamp is an iconic space-age design that will make a strong statement, either as a playful centerpiece or a point of curiosity within any outdoor space.","brand":"GUBI","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":49799396589889,"sku":null,"price":1111.12,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/4150\/0993\/files\/a2dfac83-5c5f-4973-aef5-6cbb4c025416.webp?v=1793166423"},{"product_id":"stemlite-wall-lamp-black-chrome-frosted-glass","title":"Stemlite Wall Lamp","description":"Subtle, organic forms and gentle, diffused light characterize the Stemlite Wall Lamp – a hidden gem from the space race era and now a natural addition to the GUBI Collection. Legendary designer Bill Curry’s ‘total look’ lamp was an innovative rethinking of the traditional lamp and captured the zeitgeist of West Coast America of the 1960s. Inspired by the stems that support flower heads in nature, the Stemlite appears to grow organically out of the wall. The die-cast aluminium base holds the tulip-like steel stem which reaches outwards, then upwards to hold a gently glowing, mouth-blown frosted glass globe. A simple rotary dimmer switch gives intuitive control over the light intensity. Available in Black Chrome, the Stemlite Wall Lamp can be mixed and matched with rest of the modular Stemlite Collection, creating an atmosphere which complements both modern and traditional interiors.","brand":"GUBI","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":49797485887809,"sku":null,"price":2879.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/4150\/0993\/files\/ee33df07-ee44-4176-84a8-fe94bd09f202.webp?v=1793136963"},{"product_id":"stemlite-floor-lamp-150-cm-pebble-grey","title":"Stemlite Floor Lamp - Large","description":"The Stemlite (1962) was the first ‘total look’ lamp, a pioneering new typology conceived by American Designer Bill Curry, which replaced the traditional base-plus-shade form with a single self-contained unit comprising interchangeable modules.
