Red Hebi Lamp / Isao Honoe x Valenti Luce

Table lamp Red Hebi by Isao Hosoe for Valenti Luce, Italy, circa 1970 A true icon of Italian design from the 1970s, the Hebi lamp is a unique creation by Japanese designer Isao Hosoe, published by the Italian house Valenti Luce around 1970. Its name, "Hebi," means snake in Japanese. This is a perfectly fitting name for this sculptural lamp whose long flexible arm, dressed in a ribbed red sheath, creates a silhouette full of movement. Its articulated system allows for free shaping and orientation of its diffuser as needed. Its rounded red lacquered head, combined with its soft and graphic body, gives it a distinctly Space Age aesthetic, both playful, bold, and functional. We particularly love its bright red color, its almost organic look, and the ingenuity of its design: a lamp that certainly does not lack flexibility!
