Published by Gubi, Unbound is a collection of lighting that is both ethereal and functional, a pared-down version of the traditional Japanese paper lantern that shakes up conventions with its playful asymmetry. Unbound is the result of design studio Space Copenhagen’s desire to create a practical yet poetic lamp with a sculptural character, but without being imposing. Taking the ship’s lantern as its starting point, Space Copenhagen set out to simplify the typology to its purest expression. The marble base plays the role of an anchor, embodying immobility and weight. It contrasts with the textile shade, which seems to float above the base. Swivelling through 360°, the shade can be perfectly aligned with the marble base or completely off-centre, creating a sculptural asymmetry. Designed to create a soft, zen-like ambience, the Unbound Gubi lamp swivels easily in an almost poetic way. The full-height LEDs and the textile shade create a warm, diffused light in any space. Unbound is available as a table lamp and as a floor lamp, available in two heights.
