A base, an arm, a shade; a square, a line, a cone; steel, brass, aluminium; and the magic of light.
Gira sums up the basic components of a lamp.

These have been reconfigured based on the traditional flexible reading lamp, to allow flexibility of movement. The design is simple, while versatile in function: featuring a rotating arm and an adjustable shade. It can form localized beams of light for working, reading or writing; in a room, a hotel lobby or an office. Look at it once, then try and sketch it from memory.

It achieved international acclaim, receiving awards and places in exhibitions all over the world. However, what truly distinguishes Gira lies in its function—a unique ability to foster an intimate connection between the user, the light and its surroundings.
