Tripop: Where Space Age Whimsy Meets Portable Light
Some objects arrive looking like they’ve traveled. Tripop, designed by Matteo Cibic for Italian house Multiforme, is a portable rechargeable lamp disguised as a tiny glowing planet. A milky blown-glass sphere studded with fat, glossy polka dots in red, green, or blue.
It feels mod. It feels mischievous. It feels like a souvenir someone smuggled back from a moon mission.
The dots are pure Murano theater, applied hot so they fuse into the surface and catch the light from within. Set on a slim chrome puck of a base, the orb reads less like a lamp and more like a small, glowing planet placed politely on a console.
Because Tripop is rechargeable and dimmable, it wanders. Drop a cluster on a boutique hotel check-in desk. Line a few along a co-working lounge bar. Float one on a banquette in a restaurant where the lighting plot needs a little wink.
It joins a wider conversation in sculptural glass lighting, but trades drama for delight. Primary, playful, and quietly collectible.
