The lamp has a brass wall plate that includes the light switch and cable output. On the wall plate are two rectangle brass elements which holds a teak wooden structure and provide the lamp to move left and right. The wooden stem is strengthened by a brass plate that sits on top and is attached by brass bolts. Under the wooden stem are brass round cylinders where a nickel plated stem goes through that, at the end, makes a bend and guides the cable. The nickel plated stem can be moved front- and backwards and the cable is then guided by a brass wheel on the back. The brass weight makes it easy to move the lamp into a different position and keeps the shade in balance. The shade is made from black painted aluminium and has a conical shape. A wooden detail is sitting on top of the shade. The lamps gives off a soft light when lit due to the perspex diffuser that hangs in the middle and is held by brass arms with two brass screws, made visible. This adjustable and pivoting lamp is a super elegant and a versatile piece. The shade is professionally refinished and the wiring is fully renewed.
