The design is defined by a generous circular frosted glass shade, elegantly suspended from a black lacquered metal rod with tensioned support wires, creating a striking balance between structural clarity and visual lightness.

The lamp embodies the modernist ideals of the era: functional purity, architectural precision, and restrained elegance. The softly diffused glass shade emits an even, atmospheric light, making the piece both sculptural and practical. Its proportions and construction reflect the sophisticated Central European interpretation of modernism, closely aligned with contemporaneous Italian and Scandinavian lighting designs.

Attributed to Meblo based on design language, materials, and construction techniques characteristic of the manufacturer’s mid-20th century production. While unmarked, the lamp presents all the hallmarks of high-quality Yugoslav modernist design.

An elegant and increasingly rare lighting piece, suitable for refined residential or curated interior settings.
