Bul-Bo Mini is the table version of the iconic Bul-Bo floor lamp designed by Studio Gabetti & Isola back in the early Seventies, and considered a cult item in the history of Italian design.‎ The new Bul-Bo Mini, designed by the architects FabrizioPellegrino and Lodovico Gabetti for Axolight, can be positioned in different contexts – on a console table in the entry, in a reading corner of the living room, in a waiting room - recreating actual artistic displays.‎ Axolight’s research into the field of lighting comfort has led to a number of high-tech updates, including the addition of an adjustable swivel that makes it possible to turn the light in any direction, and the use of a LED source in place of the original incandescent bulb.‎ The materials remain however the same: the base in black eco-leather, filled with marble granules, with a shape that resembles a bulb or an onion - as indicated by its own architect-designers.‎ The tiltable shaft in aluminum terminates with the laser-cut silhouette of a lightbulb.‎ With its unmistakable silhouette, the Bul-Bo lamp - now in its new Mini version - does more than merely furnish or serve a function: it tells a story of artistic brilliance and high craftsmanship, handed down from generation to generation.‎ First designed between 1968 and 1971 by Gabetti & Isola, it was re-edited by Axolight in 2020 with the introduction of contemporary elements, in respect of the philology of the original design, and has since been the subject of a revised edition with new materials - Bul-Bo Soft - in partnership with Loro Piana Interiors, who covered the base - originally in eco-leather - with an Altai fabric of wool and cashmere in two different color variants.‎ Main materials: Metal, Fabric IP: 20 LED: integrated Watt: ~4 Lumens: ~523 Lm/W: ~122 Vac: 110-240 CRI: >90 Beam angle: 25° CCT options: 3000k; 2700k Dimming control: touch LED driver location: plug
