Carlo Nason designed the Gelato Lamp for Established & Sons. Just as the name describes, the model is reflective of the cold treat. The original wired Gelato lamp was first designed by Nason in the 60s. Now, it is brought back from the archives and reimagined as a rechargeable portable lamp.
The glass base is shaped like a cup to cradle the light, which is a glowing orb. It is half set inside the base, and the other half is exposed to look like gelato. The lamp has a thick glass build, and it boasts a clear-like finish to contrast with the entirely matte light. The color options include Mint, Azure, Smoke, and Spritz for some fun pops of colors.
