HERPE

The Table and floor lamp Gherpe Due to its unique shape, reminiscent of a seashell, a familiar marine creature, Gherpe doesn't belong to the well-known and common typologies of lighting fixtures. The use of an industrial material like methacrylate was also rather avant-garde for lighting, practically novel in the year the lamp was created. It is precisely this unconventional combination that distinguishes Gherpe and Superstudio, a group of architects including Peter Frassinelli, Alessandro and Roberto Magris, Adolfo Natalini, Alessandro Poli, and Christiano Torald di Francia, and makes the light object an artifact of design history. As such, Gherpe is exhibited in design museums worldwide. The fan-shaped light object is flexibly mounted, allowing it to be positioned in a multitude of different ways, thus constantly creating a new effect.
