The lamp seamlessly combines modern aesthetics with high practicality, featuring an integrated two-tier side table. The chrome-plated tubular steel structure has been professionally cleaned during restoration, removing decades of patina to reveal its original high-luster finish.

The wooden sections of the table are crafted from high-quality veneered blockboard, with the original polish carefully revived during the restoration process. This treatment has restored the wood’s natural depth and highlighted the subtle grain of the veneer, creating a beautiful contrast with the cool chrome elements. The centerpiece of the fixture is the original parchment lampshade, which has remained preserved in authentic condition and provides a warm, pleasant, and diffused light when lit.

The entire piece has undergone a thorough overall revision to meet the demands of modern use while preserving its historical integrity. New wiring has been installed, including a stylish braided cord, making the lamp fully functional and completely safe for everyday use. This piece represents not only a valuable collectors artifact from the era of classic modernism but also a highly aesthetic and practical addition to contemporary interiors.
