Kartell Take Table Lamp Ferruccio Laviani Red Transparent Polycarbonate 2003

Designed by Ferruccio Laviani for Kartell in 2003, the Take table lamp is a defining example of Kartell’s early 21st-century approach to playful minimalism and industrial elegance.
 
Composed of two symmetrical halves of transparent red polycarbonate, the lamp reinterprets the classic bedside form through precise geometry and optical layering. The pleated inner diffuser modulates the light, creating a warm and rhythmic glow that reflects Kartell’s mastery of material translucency.
 
Laviani’s Take merges innovation with emotional design—an accessible object that feels simultaneously futuristic and familiar. Its combination of sculptural clarity and vivid color made it one of the most successful and recognizable Kartell pieces of its decade, now regarded as a contemporary collectible in the brand’s catalog.
