Overview
Design by Ferruccio Laviani.
Made in Italy by Kartell.
Toobe is the first floor lamp for Kartell, a master key that completes the lamp family.
Toobe by Ferruccio Laviani was conceived from the idea that the use of a PMMA extruded tube could, according to length, become either a floor or table lamp. Thanks to an innovative coloring technology, Toobe is the first Kartell product to be "faded" to permit a special light to be diffused within the cylinder. The line is simple and modern. The handle in the lamp body makes the pole functional and easy to move. Select from a variety of transparent color options. Also available in a table lamp.
