To celebrate ten years of Ferruccio Laviani’s best-selling Bourgie table lamp for Kartell, the Italian plastic furniture brand invited 14 of the world’s most renowned designers to reinterpret the iconic design.

Kartell asked 14 world renowned designers to redesign Ferruccio Laviani’s iconic Bourgie table lamp with entertaining and thought-provoking results.

Currently on show at Kartell’s flagship store in Paris as an exhibition called ‘Kartell goes Bourgie’, the reimagined Bourgie table lamp designs include a minimal wire outline interpretation by Ludovica+Roberto Palomba to a version by Mario Bellini who turns the lamp into an umbrella stand.

‘Kartell goes Bourgie’ is the first in a series of international exhibitions that will go on throughout the year.
