Stemlite Collection

The Stemlite was the first ‘total look’ lamp, a pioneering new typology

conceived by American Designer Bill Curry, which replaced the

traditional base-plus-shade form with a single self-contained unit.

The Stemlite was inspired by the strong, organic, yet slender stems

that support flower heads in nature. It comprises a die-cast metal

base, evocative of a tulip-stem, topped with a mouth–blown glass

globe, and a simple cylinder-shaped rotary switch underneath that

gently rolls between the fingers from “on” through “off”. Today’s

Stemlite remains true to Curry’s designs, comprising three of the

original heights: two table heights, one of which was originally

conceived as a floor lamp and the original floor lamp height. A

second, taller floor lamp has been added and a pendant light has

been engineered by simply flipping the original design upside-down.

The visual consistency across the collection and carefully curated

color palette offer the opportunity to combine the lights in any

combination, making them ideal for residential, commercial and

hospitality settings alike. Their subtle organic form complements

bold modern interior spaces as well as more traditional surroundings.
