    THREE COLORS, THREE MOODS OF LIGHT

     

    Obello’s sculptural mushroom silhouette becomes a canvas of light and chromatic expression. Mellow Yellow radiates cheer and optimism, filling interiors with warmth and ease. Powder Pink brings gentle intimacy, its rosy hue casting a tactile, romantic glow. Pearl White shimmers with subtle pearlescence, a luminous neutral that captures the timeless elegance of light itself. Together, the three tones form a harmonious palette of luminous pastels, enriching Obello’s sculptural form while amplifying its joyful presence.

     

    CRAFTED WITH CARE

     

    Each Obello is formed from opal mouth-blown glass, a process that makes every lamp unique, and finished with a hand-applied, water-based lacquer that gives its surface a luminous gloss. Because the process is artisanal, subtle variations can appear, enhancing each lamp’s individuality. The lacquer is carefully bonded to the glass to ensure strength and durability. The glossy finish brings an elevated tactility, while the internal body remains white, so when the LED system lights the lamp evenly from stem to dome, it casts a soft, ambient glow through three brightness stages, each revealing a different light and color intensity.

          INDOORS AND OUT

           

          Portable and versatile, Obello moves easily from room to room or out onto the terrace, balcony, or garden, with the stem doubling as a handle. At full intensity, the lamp provides up to 16 hours of light, while 50% brightness delivers 34 hours, and 20% brightness provides more than 58 hours. A high-capacity lithium battery charges fully in six hours, and the lamp can also be used while charging for added flexibility. The dimmer switch lets the glow build as the evening deepens, extending the night beyond dusk.

           

          While Obello should always be stored and charged indoors, it is splash-proof, meaning it can withstand the occasional rain shower and is resilient against sand and soil. Designed to move with you, it brings ambience to interiors and atmosphere to outdoor spaces alike.

           

          BILL CURRY

           

          American designer William ‘Bill’ Edwin Curry captured the zeitgeist of the 1960s and ‘70s with his iconic lamp designs. From his unique Los Angeles vantage point at the meeting point of art, design and engineering, during an era defined by the space race, pop culture and a new forward-looking optimism, he translated the wonder and delight he saw around him into simple yet intelligent ideas with clear visual narratives.
