Qeeboo – A New Generation Brand

During the 14 th century, a small group of young poets from Florence (Guido Cavalcanti, Guido Guinizzelli, Lapo Gianni, Dante Alighieri, Cino da Pistoia) were the first to stop the Middle Age with its dogmatic and useless theologies in order to talk about Love, about Women (which may have never even existed, just like Petrarca’s Laura), about their diversity from the Byzantines, becoming witnesses of a generation without a clear destiny… By inventing the Women, they also invented the New Men.

Dante, the Father, coined for them this magical name, which changed not only poetry but also the history of the world… As a matter of fact, all great things always come from little ones, apparently useless and redundant; from a title and sometimes by chance. The Dolce Stil Novo of Design is founded on a figurative and narrative matrix, completely different from the one of the commercial markets, but maybe even more invasive than that, herald of a new feminine and masculine sensitivity: less testosterone, more irony, more simplicity. An innocent Design and therefore braver.

Qeeboo – Kong – Ivory – Qeeboo Free Standing Lamp by Stefano Giovannoni – Lighting – Home

Time has passed since its 1933 cinema debut: (King) Kong, the ferocious beast became a good hero when the feelings began to resurface, and, reluctantly abandoned the jungle, the city now seems to have become home, whether New York or any other city.

Giovannoni’s Kong is, surprisingly, technological and almost human. It shines in front of itself just as if the power went out. It’s out of scale to be a toy, out of scale to be a lamp, but it is also out of scale to be a gorilla.

Kong becomes a powerful object, with an adjustable arm to direct the light beam at different angles, infinitely adjustable and with countless uses.

Above all, it’s no longer scary thanks to the designer’s imagination and creativity.
