Not as if Gubi needs any introduction from me…the iconic Danish brand has been around since the late 1960’s, and is now a global furniture company, known for exemplary minimal + usable interior pieces. I have ALWAYS been a fan of the clean design, which tends to maintain classical pieces, while simultaneously evolving in to the next generation of Nordic minimalism.

I have many things on my “Gubi Wishlist,” but when it comes to lamps, this brand is my first choice. When we moved in to our rental home, the first thing that had to be changed was the pendant lighting. I knew instantly that it would be the Gubi Semi-Pendant.

Geometric shapes are in abundance in my home + the Semi-Pendant checks all the boxes. It’s based on “two quarter circles, put together, back to back.” The lamp comes in several different sizes and colors. I picked the diameter of 47cm in black. And it’s a show-stopper.

When I scoured all of my favorite interior sources for a new floor lamp, I obviously settled on Gubi. It was a tough decision, in which Louis Poulsen, the Mantis by Herman Miller, and a few others were in the hunt. But, what truly sold me was the flexibility of the head of the floor lamp.

Greta Grossman, the quintessential designer of the lamp, gave the name Cobra to it, because:

the oval shape is reminiscent of a Cobra's neck. In addition, the tubular flexible arm can be bent in all directions, allowing the shade to rotate 360 degrees, as well.

The adaptability of the shade, and the ability to instantly change the look of a space, is SO important to me. Ask anyone who knows me, and they’ll tell you that I love to rearrange my interiors (a little too often, quite frankly). So being able to alter the lamp shade to create a different look, is KEY!

I haven’t officially moved the lamp in to my bedroom to show it off. But don’t worry, I will. I am bursting to shoot it next to my bed. Thank you, Gubi. I’ll always be your greatest enthusiast.

All styling, photography + opinions are my own.
