Bagdad Portable Table Lamp

Originally designed in 1954, the Bagdad Lamp is a brilliantly offbeat showcase of Mathieu Matégot’s material affinity with perforated metal. A multifaceted, cubist construction with a comet-like tail, the Bagdad’s sculptural design has proven timeless in its playful uniqueness. The new edition scales down the size by half and adds a further element of versatility by making it portable. The small brass ball at the top of the lamp was solely decorative in Matégot’s design, but now functions as a touch-activated dimmer mechanism in the portable edition.
