Red Snake Lamp "Hebi", 1970s

Iconic piece of Italian design from the 70s/80s, this flexible red lamp “Hebi” (meaning “snake” in Japanese) is attributed to designer Isao Hosoe and produced by Valenti Luce. Its fully articulated arm in red technopolymer (total length: 114 cm) and its rotating metal reflector offer great freedom of movement and a bold aesthetic. This lamp is in good working condition with its original switch integrated into the red cable (total length: 140 cm). It operates with an E14 screw bulb. The reflector shows marked patina (see photos), which gives it a raw and authentic charm, a testament to its use and era. Dimensions: Reflector: Diameter 8.5 cm. Length of flexible arm: 114 cm. Length of cable: 140 cm. Weight: 790 g. Origin: Italy, circa 1970/80. Overall good condition / works / visible patina on the reflector / no manufacturer logo.
