Hornbæk Portable Lamp
Design by GUBIAt the heart of the design is a contemporary reinterpretation of the familiar lampshade. Two oversized, gently folded canvas shades transform a classic typology into something more sculptural and expressive. Their form draws on the maritime setting of Hornbæk: the shades recall sails catching the wind, while the portable format evokes the lanterns once carried aboard ships and around the harbor.
THE SPIRIT OF HORNBÆK
Along Denmark’s northern coastline lies the seaside town of Hornbæk, long known for its luminous skies, maritime heritage, and relaxed rhythm of life. Designed for CORI Hornbæk Hotel, a five-star seaside destination, the Hornbæk Portable Lamp captures the quiet poetry of life by the water: shifting coastal light, long evenings outdoors, and the simple pleasure of carrying a warm glow from one place to another.
