Bill Curry’s mushroom-shaped Obello Lamp continues its journey. Celebrated for his bold use of color and inventive Space Age forms, the American designer first created the lamp in 1971. After its reintroduction by GUBI in 2022, in the color of frosted glass, the design returns in a trio of luminous pastels, each finished with a glossy finish that accentuates its sculptural silhouette. Balancing softness with warmth, this palette extends Curry’s legacy with a fresh, contemporary expression.

American designer Bill Curry (1927-1971) captured the zeitgeist of the 1960s and ‘70s with his iconic lamp designs. From his unique Los Angeles vantage point at the meeting point of art, design and engineering, during an era defined by the space race, pop culture and a new forward-looking optimism, he was recognized as one of California’s leading designers by the time he died at the age of just 43.
