Black / Desktop / Bagdad Portable Lamp, designed by Bagdad for Gubi

Bagdad Portable Lamp

$439

Made by GUBI

Designed by Mathieu Matégot

First conceived in 1954 by Mathieu Matégot, the Bagdad Lamp translates his mastery of perforated metal into an arresting sculptural object. Its geometric, cubist composition—accentuated by a trailing, comet-like fin—renders the lamp at once whimsical and enduring. The contemporary edition is refined for modern living: reduced to half the original scale and engineered for portability. Rechargeable and equipped with a touch-sensitive dimmer offering three brightness settings, it is offered in Black, White, and International Orange. The Bagdad thus enriches GUBI’s Matégot collection and the brand’s expanding range of untethered lighting.
