Crafted primarily from white metal, the surface has developed a gentle patina over time, giving the lamp a soft, lived-in character that speaks to its age and authenticity.

Complementing the white metal body are carefully integrated brass elements, most notably the light switch and parts of the lamp housing. These warm brass accents create a subtle contrast against the cooler tones of the metal, adding depth and a sense of understated luxury. The interaction between materials highlights Hillebrand’s attention to detail and his ability to elevate everyday objects through thoughtful design choices.

Both sculptural and practical, this lamp is more than a source of light—it is a decorative object that brings a quiet sophistication to a desk, side table, or reading corner. Its patinated finish and timeless materials make it a striking example of vintage lighting, perfectly suited for interiors that appreciate character, craftsmanship, and design history.
