The form is restrained and architectural, with an exposed lighting assembly that places the design emphasis on structure and light rather than ornament. A perforated metal top sits above a ribbed acrylic diffuser, producing a layered, atmospheric glow that feels deliberate and intelligent when illuminated.

The lamp features a slender black metal stem with an articulated arm that allows the head to be positioned precisely. The weighted metal base gives it a stable, grounded presence, and the overall construction feels solid and well considered. A rotary switch provides two brightness levels, allowing the lamp to function comfortably as either ambient lighting or a more focused task light.

Condition is excellent. The acrylic diffuser is intact with no cracks or heat deformation. The metal components are clean and sturdy, showing only a small paint chip and minor surface wear consistent with age. The lamp presents exceptionally well and has a quiet sculptural presence that reads as both playful and architectural. See less
