About the Item

Bring a touch of playful vintage into your space with this white Hebi table lamp, designed by Isao Hosoe for Valenti in 1968. The lamp’s flexible “snake-like” (Hebi means snake in Japanese) body makes it easy to bend, twist, and position just the way you like. Perfect for creating cozy reading light or adding a sculptural accent to a shelf, desk, or bedside table. It’s beautifully signed by Isao Hosoe along the tube, a detail that adds both authenticity and collectibility, and is still in very good vintage condition with only an absolute minimum of wear. It’s a joyful piece of design history that blends seamlessly into both modern and eclectic interiors. Bibliography: Charlotte & Peter Fiell, “ 1000 Lights”, 2006 Taschen, p.482 + 483
