Kartell - Iconic "Bourgie" Table Lamp - Design Ferruccio Laviani - Crystal Finish Experience the perfect synthesis of Baroque opulence and 21st-century industrial innovation. Designed in 2004 by the visionary Ferruccio Laviani for Kartell, the Bourgie lamp has redefined contemporary lighting. Its silhouette draws inspiration from classic 18th-century candelabras, reimagined through the transparency and lightness of high-tech materials. The most enchanting feature is the pleated lampshade, which, once illuminated, transforms the light into a thousand prismatic reflections. Thanks to a clever internal coupling system, the lamp is height-adjustable, allowing it to transition seamlessly from an elegant desk lamp to a stately floor-standing decorative piece. This specific version is equipped with its original inline switch along the cable, allowing you to turn the lamp on and off effortlessly.
