Unveiled at the Paris Fashion Week (and with good reason), the Bag table lamp from sustainable lighting design studio Gantri is a quirky yet gorgeous light that blurs the line between decor and couture. The lamp quite literally looks like a handbag that you can carry around, putting a spin on handheld lamps and lanterns by being a little more, well, eye-catching.
We’ve come to associate handheld lamps with being either torch or lantern-shaped, but the Bag lamp is different. It takes direct cues from fashion design, creating a handbag-shaped form that glows to fill your room with ambient light. In true Gantri style, the entire bag is 3D printed out of the company’s signature plant-based polymer, with its cloudy translucency that diffuses the inner LED brilliantly, creating a light that isn’t just functional, it’s a statement-piece too.
Designer: TOMBOGO for Gantri
The lamp is 12″ wide and 10.5″ tall, making it perfect for both interior as well as portable use. The handle allows you to carry the Bag from room to room, placing it on tabletop surfaces (or pretty much anywhere) for instant diffused mood lighting. The designer’s logo on the bag’s front adds a touch of whimsy, punctuating the surface while almost serving as branding for some avant-garde fashion label.
“A beacon of creativity, its blend of futuristic fashion and sustainable innovation reminds you to push boundaries and challenge the ordinary every day. Offering more than mere illumination, it serves as a source of constant inspiration, igniting your imagination to embrace the unexpected and boldly chase your dreams,” says the team at Gantri, which worked with designer TOMBOGO to bring the Bag lamp to life.
On the inside, you’ve got two E12 LED bulbs that bring this lamp to life. Most of Gantri’s lamps are wired, although this one particularly lends itself to wireless use. There’s no mention of an internal battery, which leads me to believe that the Bag lamp can only be used when plugged into an outlet.
This lamp is one of many in Gantri’s collection. The California-based lighting brand has been steadily disrupting the industry with its unique, design-driven lamps that are all 3D printed using sustainable materials. This innovative approach to design and manufacturing has given Gantri its distinct design language, allowing its lights to stand out against a sea of otherwise predictable designs.
