KARTELL GEEN-A WHITE LAMP ART 09700/13

Designed by Ferruccio Laviani, Geen-A is a reading light specially designed to provide optimal lighting for reading. Its intermediate height (smaller than a traditional floor lamp) and functional, glare-free lighting offer perfect visual comfort for reading in an armchair, sofa or bed. Entirely made of steel, it consists of a set of simple, round and balanced geometric shapes. The large dome that acts as a lampshade is surmounted by a handle that facilitates its movement. The Geen-A reading light has a dimmer that regulates the intensity of the light. Ferruccio Laviani explains: `` The idea was to create a simple lamp, not too technical, but decorative, and which could also be used in other situations, next to a bed or a table. A bedside table, for example. And indeed, this lamp has a somewhat abnormal height, between a floor lamp and a table lamp. With a simple soul, Geen-A has no special technology. I didn't want those built-in LEDs you don't know how to replace, but three beautiful bulbs that people still prefer. The lampshade is reminiscent of an oriental headdress, so much so that Kartell immediately renamed it "the Chinese girl". The name Geen-A pays homage to the designer's mother, Giacomina, who loved to read: “I always remember her with a book in her hand, my mum. And this is almost always the case in photographs. He said if he had nothing else he would read the cheese package. So when it came to coming up with a name for Kartell's first reading lamp, the name just happened."
