The Hebi [ “snake” in Japanese ] is a celebrated example of functional minimalism from the Italian Space-Age era. Its distinctive ribbed PVC-sheathed metal arm bends freely in any direction, allowing sculptural movement and precise light control.
A hemispherical aluminium shade and simple clamp base complete the industrial yet playful design. Both technically inventive and visually fluid, the Hebi remains an enduring icon of 1970s Italian lighting design.
