Pair of Kartell "Take" Table Lamps by Ferruccio Laviani - Red
Elevate your interior with this iconic pair of Take table lamps, a masterpiece of contemporary Italian design created by the renowned Ferruccio Laviani for Kartell.
Born from the poetic idea of "two halves of an apple" joined together, the Take lamp is a brilliant reinterpretation of the classic bedside abat-jour. Its structure is formed by the conjoining of two flat, symmetrical polycarbonate sheets that create a 3D volume, giving the lamp its unmistakable and curious silhouette.
The true magic happens when you turn them on: the internal pleated finish of the shade transforms the light into a play of enchanting, multifaceted reflections, similar to rays passing through a prism. In this timeless Crystal (Cristallo) version, the transparent polycarbonate offers a pure and luminous aesthetic, making them perfect for a modern bedroom, a minimalist living room, or a professional studio.
A timeless icon of the Kartell collection, these lamps are not just light sources, but a celebration of the evolution of plastic into a noble and versatile material.

About the Designer: Ferruccio Laviani
Born in Cremona in 1960, Ferruccio Laviani is a pivotal figure in contemporary Italian design. He belongs to the generation of designers who established themselves in the early 1990s within the De Lucchi studio.
Since 1991, he has served as the Art Director for Kartell, playing a crucial role in transforming the brand into a global icon of high-end plastic furniture. Laviani is celebrated for his ability to blend classic, almost "Baroque" silhouettes with cutting-edge industrial materials like polycarbonate.
Beyond the Take lamp, his most famous works include the Bourgie lamp and the Orbital floor lamp. His design philosophy focuses on "emotion through technology," turning everyday objects into expressive, sculptural pieces that fit seamlessly into modern living spaces.
