With Alibaglass, Matteo Ugolini reinterprets the iconic Karman Alibaba lamp in borosilicate glass. Transparency, reflections and five finishes define the design for private interiors and contract projects.
Alibaba becomes Alibaglass
The familiar Alibaba is the starting point for Alibaglass. Matteo Ugolini returns to the iconic Karman design and gives it a new expression in borosilicate glass. The reinterpretation brings together tradition and modernity.
Our article on the philosophy behind Karman design lamps explores the ideas of the brand. Another lamp portrait introduces the Cell lamp series by Karman.
Borosilicate glass: transparency and reflections
Borosilicate glass places transparency and reflections at the centre of the design. The choice of material shapes the character of Alibaglass and offers a new perspective on the familiar Alibaba.
Five finishes
Alibaglass is available in five finishes: transparent, smoky, pink, turquoise and nickel plated. These versions add different colour accents to the reinterpretation of the iconic lamp.
For private interiors and contract projects
Karman presents Alibaglass for both private spaces and contract projects. The design combines aesthetics and functionality.
