at 140 cm (55”) tall and 60 cm (23.5”) wide, it has a strong presence without overwhelming a room. When lit, the glow is magnificent, with the glass and fabric diffusing light like candlefire - its chains and rivets catch the light - a rhythm of craftsmanship suspended in air.

this is a lamp that can transform the atmosphere in a room - equally in a grand hallway with soaring ceilings or above a reading corner where shadow meets warmth, it lends an aura of exceptional grandeur. A museum-grade treasure - yet most magical when lived with, when its glow turns everyday space into something enchanted.

this piece channels the expressive power of the amsterdam school, while its honesty of material and craft reveals the arts & crafts spirit beneath.
