Characterized by its precision engineering and functional elegance, the lamp features a nickel-plated metal base and a brass stem, embodying a sophisticated mix of materials.

This model set a benchmark in midcentury lighting design, with its clean lines and adjustable functionality, influencing countless later designs.
