It exemplifies the "form follows function" ethos of the era, featuring a stripped-back, architectural silhouette that has been repurposed for contemporary interiors. The lamp is defined by its adjustable light housing, a cylindrical steel trough finished in white enamel, containing a raw metal reflector. This head is mounted on a U-shaped bracket allowing for precise tilting, enabling the user to direct light as a focused reading spot or a dramatic uplighter. The structure is supported by a minimalist tubular steel stem resting on a stable tripod base.

The piece retains its authentic industrial character, with visible wear, chipping to the enamel, and a natural patina that speaks to its history in a working environment. It has been restored and safety-checked by our team in Antwerp, now fitted with standard sockets to serve as an atmospheric floor lamp. Ideal for a loft, studio, or industrial-style living space where raw materials and history are valued. Vintage condition with significant, desirable patina. The enamel shows chipping and signs of age consistent with industrial use. The electrical components have been serviced for safety.
