The piece showcases a raw, industrial aesthetic characteristic of Brutalist design (1960s–1970s), emphasizing rugged textures, hand-worked materials and sculptural presence.

The patina on the metal enhances its authenticity, white with a weathered, rust-red finish. Both functional and artistic, this lamp works as a lighting source and as a statement piece of mid-century modern brutalist art.
