Gubi Bagdad Portable Table Lamp

Originally designed in 1954, Bagdad is a playful design which showcases Mathieu Matégot's affinity with perforated metal and his signature ‘rigitulle’ technique. Playful and unique, Gubi has scaled the size down by half and offers the lamp with the flexibility of being fully portable whilst still providing 3 step dimming for a versatile luminaire.

Mathieu Matégot was a versatile, independent, and self-taught Hungarian designer, architect and artist. He spent most of his life in his beloved Paris, where he settled in 1931. In 1939, Matégot volunteered for the French army but was captured and held prisoner in Germany until his escape in 1944. Matégot’s wartime captivity was important to his later career, as it was here that he first learned about the techniques and potential of sheet metal while working in a mechanical accessories plant..
