When Brooklyn-based industrial designer Louis Filosa was first contemplating schemes for a new desk lamp for California lighting brand Gantri he found inspiration from a rather unexpected source – soft serve cones being doled out from an ice cream truck. Harnessing the nostalgia of the summertime staple, Filosa developed the Smoothy lamp, whose fluid and shapely form brings a sense of softness and movement to any interior. 

While the lighthearted design is intended as an affable alternative to the more mechanical and angular desk lamps that are commonly found in modern offices, its playful shape and focused glow would instill warmth in a bedroom, entryway or any other space where special moments can be highlighted.

Equipped with a dimmable, museum-grade LED, the lamp emits a natural-like illumination that can be adjusted throughout the day. Further strengthening the feel-good nature of Smoothy is its eco-friendly production and composition: each lamp is 3D printed by-demand to minimize waste and uses a propriety plant-based polymer; Smoothy is offered in three bold colourways – Sage, Sunrise and Carbon.
