The metal of the lamp is grey lacquered and it is telescopic until 300 cm which makes it pretty large. The metal conjunction is quite smart: it can move left and right and up and down and the form is quite interesting to look at too. Not only functional but also very beautiful. The lamp has a working bakelite switch. Some old school industrial design but with some elegance and very functional if you need to lighten up a dining table or a corner and you have to come from the wall to reach that place. A surprising touch to every interior also because it can be used both as a floorlamp or as a wall-lamp. The telescopic pole is still very nicely straight after almost a century!
