There is something about the weight of an object that gives it depth. As humans, we are intrinsically drawn to metals, gems, and stones for their beauty, rich expanse of color, and intricate detailing.The Little Lebow table lamp from Fatboy, designed by Dutch design duo Kranen/Gille, taps into that same instinct. Crafted from cast aluminum and coated steel components, it feels reassuringly solid, yet its form evokes a lily-of-the-valley likeness – organic, approachable, and quietly playful.
More than just a pretty face, the Little Lebow is smartly engineered. Each lamp head is both dimmable and rotatable, giving you total control over direction and brightness. Whether you’re reading late into the night, powering through work, or simply creating a cozy atmosphere, the lamp adjusts effortlessly to your needs. It even remembers your last light setting, so the next time you switch it on, the ambiance is already set.
Practical touches elevate it further: a generous 180cm braided cord (always color-matched to the lamp), an anti-slip base that keeps it steady, and replaceable bulbs that make it built for the long haul. Plug it in, twist the dimmer, and you’ve got instant ambiance – whether a subtle glow or spotlight precision.
Design-wise, the lamp straddles the line between refined and fun, available in four finishes: Anthracite (inky charcoal), Bone (a cool cream), Cobalt Blue (bold and striking), and Grasshopper Green (a lively grassy hue with a blue undertone that pairs beautifully with warm-toned woods). It’s a versatile fit for a desk, side table, credenza, or even an entryway – always grounding the space while adding a touch of personality.
The Little Lebow has already earned accolades, including the Best of Design Award from leading European magazine Schöner Wohnen, recognized for its ability to seamlessly combine style, function, and joy. It’s a reminder that good design doesn’t just light up a room – it elevates it.
Fatboy is a Dutch design brand that believes life is too short for boring. From its iconic oversized Fatboy beanbag to a full collection of playful-yet-practical furniture and lighting, the brand has made a global name for itself with its signature red tag and refreshing spirit. With the Little Lebow, Fatboy continues to show that great design can be both functional and fun – proof that even everyday objects deserve a spark of play.
