Gubi Model 597 Table Lamp

The Model 597 Table Lamp by Gianfranco Frattini, originally introduced in 1961, exemplifies playful elegance in lighting design. A smaller counterpart to the floor lamp, this table lamp is compact yet striking, making it a versatile addition to any interior. Its diabolo-shaped aluminium base houses five lateral bulbs, creating a 360-degree play of light. The glow is diffused by cascading nylon fringes, which add a tactile, whimsical element inspired by Italian fashion and the functional entrance curtains of 1950s Italy. The lamp’s reflective aluminium cover enhances the uplight, providing a soft yet focused radiance.

Ideal for bedside tables, workspaces, or accent lighting in living areas, the Model 597 Table Lamp is as functional as it is decorative. Its lightweight design allows for easy repositioning, and its timeless aesthetic ensures it complements both classic and contemporary interiors.
