· The Base: A solid and heavy cone in glossy black lacquered metal serves as a plinth, providing stability and an extremely modern and minimalist look.

· The Diffuser (The Soul of the Lamp): The lighting element is composed of two vertical sheets of glass/crystal, often in the shape of a crescent or sail. The distinctive feature lies in the glass processing: transparent at the edges and frosted/sandblasted in the center, creating a circular shape.

Light Effect: When turned on, the lamp creates a unique scenographic effect: the light is captured by the central frosted circle, which illuminates like a celestial body or an eclipse, diffusing a soft, glare-free light, while the transparent edges create elegant reflections.

Style and Attribution: Due to its quality construction and formal research, this piece can be traced back to the great Italian design scene (Fontana Arte, Luceplan, or Stilnovo), designed for sophisticated spaces, professional studios, or minimalist living rooms.
