GUBI's portable Bagdad lamp draws inspiration from the shape of Middle Eastern lanterns, which is also reflected in its name, referencing the capital of Iraq. In the rechargeable Bagdad table lamp, designer Mathie Matégot applied his famous Rigitulle technique, which allows steel to be bent in a way that mimics fabric. The perforated and plated metal creates the illusion of a soft textile shade while filtering atmospheric light around it. The Bagdad lamp is shaped like an icosahedron, featuring 20 triangular sides and an exaggerated, pyramid-shaped tail, which serves both esthetic and practical purposes. The long tail functions as a convenient handle that allows the cordless lamp to be easily carried from one room to another. Each of the triangular sides supports the lamp’s weight, enabling it to be positioned in various orientations that give it a new look every time.
