A simple and symmetrical design with cylindrical bodies as the predominant shape. The contrast between white and matt black is striking. The real special feature, however, lies in the copper-colored reflector. It lies inside the lamp and emerges from the bottom as a fine edge to the outside.
The light shines primarily and focuses downwards. The fine perforation in the upper area provides a light, accentuated room light.
The lamp is in very good condition with signs of wear and patina. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
