Greta Portable keeps everything people love about the original Greta, the warmth and the natural design, and adds one gift: it can go wherever you do. Gabriel Teixidó's 2019 version carries a rechargeable battery.
It is a lamp you move from table to table, the way you would carry a candle.
The Design Story
The structure is oak wood, with a shade in natural fiber or fabric, and a leather handle that invites you to pick it up. Carpyen pairs the old craft of wood and fiber with modern technology: a rechargeable battery charged over USB, giving six to eight hours of use. The finish is natural oak with a saguran shade. Like the rest of the collection, it is made in Barcelona, where Teixidó has been designing for Carpyen for decades.
About the Designer
Gabriel Teixidó was born in Barcelona in 1947 and trained at the city's School of Applied Arts and Artistic Trades. A freelance industrial designer since 1970, he calls himself a “fairly industrial” designer: his work avoids fashion and showmanship in favor of formal restraint and quiet usefulness. He won SIDI awards for the Bolero chair in 1986 and for the Columba lamp, made by Carpyen, in 1987, and has received the ADI-FAD Delta de Plata several times.
What interests me is that my designs are useful, that people feel comfortable with them, that they are a help.
Why You'll Love It
Greta Portable is small enough to be carried in one hand, at 38 cm (15.0 in) tall and 16 cm (6.3 in) across the base, so it moves easily between a dinner table, a bedside and a bookshelf. The glow through the natural fiber shade is soft and warm. With no cord to arrange, it can be placed on a windowsill or a table where an outlet is not within reach. The leather handle and oak feel good in the hand.
Where It's Best Placed
Use Greta Portable on a dining table for evening meals, beside a bed, or on a shelf. Because it is cordless, it is easy to move from room to room. It is intended for indoor, dry settings.
