A utilitarian icon designed to hook, hang, or rest anywhere.

Konstantin Grcic conceived the Mayday Light in 1999 as a quick-response emergency lamp for his own studio—a versatile tool meant to answer any immediate lighting need. Taking visual cues from workshop safety lights and bullhorns (used to call out "Mayday!"), its design is represented in MoMA’s collection. The lightweight opaline cone casts soft ambient light, while the durable handle functions as a hook, grip, and cord winder in one. Equal parts practical hardware and clever modern lighting, it transitions effortlessly from tabletop accent to wall hook or overhead light. The Mayday Portable Lamp is made in Italy by Flos, a manufacturer with work in MoMA’s collection. 

Features of the Mayday Lamp include:

  • Made in Italy from injection-molded polypropylene diffuser and handle/cord winder.
  • Requires one 10W E26 screw-in LED bulb (not included).
  • Push-button switch located on the handle; single-level lighting (non-dimmable).
  • Multi-use hook handle doubles as a cord winder and hanger.
  • Powered by standard plug-in with a 190.9" long (approx. 16 ft) black cord.
  • Measures 21h x 8.5"d.
