Product Information
Description
Space-age style gets a contemporary twist in the Stemlite Collection by Gubi. Delicate metal frames flow into generous, organic bulbs — a single, fluid design that highlights the tension between scientific ambition and the abundant natural world. Initially designed by Bill Curry in 1960s Los Angeles, Stemlite captured the optimism and transgression of a world in motion — a society intent on exploring the bounds of both physical and human nature.In 1962, Curry developed what would become a new norm for contemporary lighting — a single piece that combined stand, bulb and shade into one bold and colourful ‘LA spacepop’ form fit for tomorrow’s world. The rare and (until recently) forgotten collection offers a soft, ambient source of light — perfect for use in contemporary living rooms or bedrooms.

Price Promise
Our Price Promise
We know that price is important. And while all of our designs follow the recommended retail prices (RRP) from our suppliers, we’re determined never to be bested.
It’s why we decided to introduce our Chaplins Price Promise. A guarantee to try and match the price of a branded product should you find it on sale at another authorised UK retailer. While the offer only applies to new designs (rather than clearance, outlets or ex-display) it’s our way of showing that we don’t just offer the best in service or style, but are committed to competitive pricing, too.
Please click on the button below should you wish to query a price. If a competitor's offer isn't immediately apparent online, we may ask you to supply us with a written quotation from the retailer — just to confirm the details.
And remember, Chaplins newsletter subscribers get an exclusive first order discount when they sign up. All of the details of which you can find in the footer below.
