The rounded body, formed from thick glass, is decorated with a geometric relief resembling stylized tulip petals. The top of the lamp is crowned with a hand-crocheted lampshade made of cream-colored yarn, based on an openwork floral and circular motif, reinforced with a chrome ring. The design allows for individual lighting of both the glass body and the lampshade, or both elements at the same time. The whole is complemented by a fabric power cord that stylistically refers to the era. The soft lines of the body and the handmade character of the lampshade create a calm dialogue between light and shadow. The frosted glass gently filters the rays, providing soft, diffused lighting with warm tones. The openwork lampshade acts as a filter, casting lace-like, subtly penetrating shadows on the surroundings. Discreet ornamentation and balanced proportions create an atmosphere of calm and focus, emphasizing the craftsmanship and attention to detail. The lamp works well as a single lighting accent on a chest of drawers or bedside table. It is worth combining it with mid-century modern furniture, upholstered armchairs on a wooden frame, and fabrics in shades of gray or beige. It can be combined with transparent glass accessories and light curtains or matte wood surfaces; the subtle colors of the lamp and the softness of the light in the evening will emphasize the natural materials of the interior.
