    Bagdad Portable Table Lamp

    ***** USUALLY SHIPS IN 2-3 WEEKS*****

    Designed By Mathieu Matégot
    Made in Denmark by Gubi

    Originally designed in 1954, the Bagdad Lamp is a brilliantly offbeat showcase of Mathieu Matégot’s material affinity with perforated metal. A multifaceted, cubist construction with a comet-like tail, the Bagdad’s sculptural design has proven timeless in its playful uniqueness. The new edition scales down the size by half and adds a further element of versatility by making it portable. Fitted with a touch-activated dimmer with three levels of brightness, and available in three colors – Black, White, and International Orange – the Bagdad represents a unique addition to GUBI’s Matégot portfolio, and the ever-growing collection of rechargeable lamps without limits.

    Mathieu Matégot (1910–2001) was a versatile, independent and self-taught designer, architect and artist. Born in Hungary, he first discovered the potential of metal while working in a mechanical accessories plant as a prisoner of war. In 1931, after finishing his studies at Budapest's School of Art and Architecture, he settled

    Although Matégot used materials such as rattan and glass, he is best known for developing his own ground-breaking material – Rigitulle, which he made from perforated sheet metal. Like fabric, this could be bent, folded, and shaped, giving his designs transparency, weightlessness, and an enduring modernity.
