This version features a bold color combination typical of the era: a vibrant red lacquered shade and articulated arm, contrasted against a matte black vertical stem and heavy cast-iron base. The design is highly functional, utilizing a classic balanced-arm mechanism that allows for easy adjustment of both height and light direction. The shade incorporates the model's signature slotted vents on top for heat dissipation. With its strong colors and industrial aesthetic, this piece creates a distinct visual accent in any space. The original manufacturer's label, reading "mod. Arma - metalarte - spain," is preserved on the joint structure. Condition report: the lamp is in good vintage condition with a charming industrial patina.
