Gherpe table lamp
The table- and floor light Due to its special shape, like that of a shell, which we know as a sea creature, Gherpe does not belong to the familiar and common typologies of lighting fixtures. The use of an industrial material such as methacrylate is also rather avant-garde for lights , and in the year the luminaire was created, it was almost new. It is precisely this unconventional combination that characterizes Gherpe and Superstudio around the architects Peter Frassinelli, Alessandro and Roberto Magris, Adolfo Natalini, Alessandro Poli and Christiano Torald di Francia and makes the lighting object an artifact of design history. As such, Gherpe is exhibited in design museums worldwide. The fanned light object is flexibly mounted and can thus be placed in a variety of different positions, creating a constantly new effect. In the TAGWERC Design STORE, you can purchase Gherpe as a licensed re-edition of the original design from 1967 with a guarantee of authenticity.

The table- and floor light Gherpe is available in two different variations: fluorescent Red and opal White. With a height of 38 centimeters and a width of 31 centimeters, Gherpe has a depth of 53 centimeters. An LED light source of maximum 10 watts brings Gherpe to lights. As an object on a marble base, a side table, placed directly on a concrete floor, in the hallway, living room, dressing room or as atmospheric light in the bedroom - Gherpe can be playfully staged and can change the emotional perception of a room.
The Gherpe luminaire is a unique design object that perfectly combines form and function. A must-have for all design lovers and an investment that can otherwise only be found in design museums such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Pompidou Center in Paris or the Museè des Beaux Arts in Montreal. This makes Gherpe an emotional companion rather than a functional piece of furniture, the perfect choice for art connoisseurs and lovers of exclusive furnishings.
