Designed for HAY by British designer John Tree, Cupola is a series of adjustable lamps that explores the possibilities of providing optimal movement using minimal mechanisms. Inspired by the uncluttered aesthetics of architectural forms, Cupola features a circular domed head that is distinctive in its simplicity.
Crafted in durable aluminium, the lamp’s natural anodised finish creates a raw, industrial expression elegantly counterbalanced by the uncluttered, rounded design.
Available as a Clip Lamp, Desk Lamp, and Wall Lamp, all equipped with a 360° rotating head and pivoting mount to provide localised, directional light to suit specific uses and rooms.
