About This Piece

Vintage Design

Here is an animal with an elusive design! "Hebi", obviously meaning snake in Japanese, is an unusual lamp imagined by Isao Hosoe. Its flexible and elongated body allows it to adapt to all situations, wall lamp, table lamp, workshop lamp or ambient lamp, coiled behind a piece of furniture. In a bold red color, it is made of metal blades covered with plastic, which gives it amazing flexibility and modularity.

The red desk lamp is adjustable, flexible in all directions and adaptable to all situations. It is electrified and perfectly functional. "Hebi" by Isao Hosoe was produced by Hebi studio for Valenti Luce.

105cm long, 10cm diameter for the deflector.
