Bagdad portable lamp, international orange
Description
GUBI's portable Bagdad lamp draws inspiration from the shape of Middle Eastern lanterns, which is also reflected in its name, referencing the capital of Iraq. In the rechargeable Bagdad table lamp, designer Mathie Matégot applied his famous Rigitulle technique, which allows steel to be bent in a way that mimics fabric. The perforated and plated metal creates the illusion of a soft textile shade while filtering atmospheric light around it.
The Bagdad lamp is shaped like an icosahedron, featuring 20 triangular sides and an exaggerated, pyramid-shaped tail, which serves both esthetic and practical purposes. The long tail functions as a convenient handle that allows the cordless lamp to be easily carried from one room to another. Each of the triangular sides supports the lamp’s weight, enabling it to be positioned in various orientations that give it a new look every time.

After studying at Budapest's School of Fine Arts in Budapest, Mathieu Matégot (1910-2001) created scenery and tapestries for the National Theater. He settled in France in 1931 and as a volunteer in the French army, was captured and not released until 1944. After returning home, he started producing handmade furniture in Paris. For a decade Matégot created various design classics but at the beginning of the 60’s changed course to focus on the design of tapestries, for which he won international acclaim.
Matégot’s organic forms and lightness of touch create a sense of joy and the ground breaking and innovative techniques that he employed result in esthetic and, above all, contemporary designs. Matégot was the first person to combine metal tubing with perforated sheet metal; a pairing that particularly characterizes his work. Many designers spend years developing their designs, simply to make them better and better. This was certainly not the case with Mathieu Matégot; he only devoted one decade to the design of furniture and interior accessories, yet these distinctive 1950’s designs would later be considered iconic.
Today, Matégot’s designs are equally fit for purpose as when they were originally conceived and his legendary designs are both timeless and classic.
