Stemlite Collection

The Stemlite collection, originally designed by William 'Bill' Edwin Curry in 1962 and reissued by Gubi, embodies a perfect blend of innovation and enduring design. Available through Dshop, these lamps are a testament to Curry's visionary approach to design, showcasing a revolutionary 'total look' concept that combined interchangeable modules to create a sleek and self-contained lighting unit.

Bill Curry's forward-thinking design philosophy is beautifully exemplified in the modular series of Stemlite lamps, which includes floor lamps, table lamps, wall lamps, and pendant lights, all designed with a cohesive and visually striking aesthetic. The newly introduced Stemlite Wall Lamp, featuring a steel arm gracefully extending from the wall and topped with a bulbous frosted glass shade, exudes a sense of organic elegance inspired by the slender yet sturdy stems found in nature.

Curry's iconic lamp designs from the 1960s and '70s captured the essence of that era, reflecting a unique blend of art, design, and engineering against the backdrop of the space race, pop culture, and a forward-looking optimism in Los Angeles, California. His ability to translate the wonder and excitement of his surroundings into simple yet intelligent designs with clear visual narratives is truly remarkable.

Today, the reissued Stemlite collection remains faithful to Curry's original vision, showcasing his unparalleled mastery of form, material, and functionality. With its timeless appeal, the Stemlite collection continues to captivate design enthusiasts, offering a glimpse into the enduring legacy of Bill Curry's design brilliance.
