WOLOLOW REINTERPRETS 1968 FUTURO HOUSE AS TABLETOP LAMP

Designed by Arthur Koshatahyan and Kostya Trunov, WOLOLOW Night Lamp Ver 2.0 is a compact luminaire that translates the Space Age architectural language of Matti Suuronen’s 1968 Futuro House into an everyday tabletop object. Directly scaling down the iconic portable chalet typology, the second version of the lamp features an elliptical disc-shaped hull punctuated by a ring of oval portholes, elevated on a slender, angled steel tripod base.

ELLIPTICAL HOUSING LAUNCHES ACROSS FIVE CHROMED FINISHES

Currently launched on Kickstarter, the updated 2.0 edition retains the original fiberglass-inspired silhouette while upgrading the internal illumination hardware. Replacing the previous generation’s integrated battery, the revised model incorporates a hardwired power connection and a standard, user-replaceable 12V MR16 LED bulb with a GU5.3 base. The fixture accommodates standard warm-white modules as well as aftermarket smart LED bulbs, allowing integration with wireless home automation protocols for dimming and RGB color adjustments. The lamp is manufactured in five distinct shell finishes: white, yellow, orange, sky blue, and mirror chrome.
