Schulz lighting is renowned for its use of chrome, impeccable build quality, and timeless silhouettes — all evident in this refined example.

The Yon model features a flexible arm and a rotatable lamp head, allowing directional and targeted illumination ideal for reading corners, desks, and living spaces. A built-in rod-mounted dimmer offers smooth, intuitive control over light intensity — one of Florian Schulz’s signature functional details.
