The large balloon umbrella is usually translucent in color. The surface of this unique piece was covered with light gray paint. At the bottom edge, holes are milled symmetrically all around the shade and closed with translucent plastic. This means that the light emerges primarily downwards. At the same time, the holes shine as bright circles. The shade can be freely fixed in height on the chrome rod of the lamp base, which gives the lamp a different appearance and lighting effect. A knurled screw on the lamp head is used to fix it. The heavy plate base has a chrome-plated cover. The edge of the cover has an overhang so that a shadow gap is created on the floor. The lamp's cable is routed via transparent acrylic elements on the pole. The lamp has a foot switch.
