Identified as model 3396 by its original hangtag, this piece balances classic elegance with high functionality. The lamp features a slender brass architecture defined by its versatility. The central stem is telescopic, allowing the height to be adjusted from 114 cm to 175 cm to suit various seating arrangements.

the horizontal arm also features an adjustable joint at the shade, permitting precise direction of light. A classic fabric conical shade diffuses the light, creating a warm, ambient glow suitable for a library, study, or living room corner.
