Notes

Signed “Optique” on the underside. This piece exemplifies the clean lines and confident geometry that defined high-end acrylic lighting in the mid-1980s. Works beautifully as a statement piece on a console, credenza, or bedside table.

The contrast between the black and clear layers creates a visual rhythm that shifts with the lighting angle — elegant by day, luminous by night. See less
