Vibeke Fonnesberg Schmidt, 2023
Description
The Coppia Table Lamp is a new sculptural twin-bulb table lamp designed for GUBI by Vibeke Fonnesberg Schmidt. Featuring two discs of Fonnesberg Schmidt’s signature plexiglass housed in a curving metal case, the elegantly industrial design represents both a new material and a new designer for GUBI. The fluid yet geometric design is sturdy enough to be used as either a table or floor lamp, moving easily from desktop to bedside, shelf to windowsill as desired.

Designer
Working at the intersection of design, art, and craft, Vibeke Fonnesberg Schmidt was born in Denmark, but her creative career began in Japan, where she first studied ceramics. She continued her education back in Copenhagen at the Danish School of Design (now the Royal Danish Academy), where she honed her skills with porcelain and began a successful career as a studio potter. Over the years, her work has been featured in numerous galleries and museum exhibitions and is notably represented in the collections of institutions including Trapholt Museum for Modern Art and Design and Designmuseum Denmark. Ceramics, however, ultimately proved limiting for Vibeke Fonnesberg Schmidt, so she began exploring alternatives. After a period of creating objects in wood, she progressed to a material that allowed her to express her sculptural sensibility and explore the interplay of shape, light, and colour in a whole new medium: plexiglass.
