The design exemplifies the blend of functionality, innovative materials, and sophisticated forms characteristic of the era. The lamp is supported by a tripod arrangement of slender, tapering rods. In a typical mid-century material contrast, two of the rods are finished in polished brass, while the third appears in dark, possibly black, painted metal or lacquered finish, creating a dynamic vertical rhythm. A simple brass ring or band joins the three rods near the center, offering a refined detail. The light sources are mounted atop the rods, featuring three shades of milky opaline glass. The shades combine an opaque, rounded globe or sphere at the base with a more elongated, tubular form above, creating a unique and visually appealing silhouette that provides soft, diffused ambient light. The entire structure is anchored by a substantial, circular base of polished marble, which is both a luxurious and practical element, ensuring stability while adding a touch of classic italian elegance to the modernist frame. This piece, with its combination of brass, opaline glass, and marble, is a superb example of stilnovo's masterful approach to creating sculptural and timeless lighting for the modern home.
