The sculptural shade is composed of layered, curved copper elements arranged in a rhythmic, overlapping formation, creating a dynamic interplay of light, shadow, and reflection. The warm tone of the polished copper gives the lamp a rich, elegant presence, while the carefully structured tiers soften and diffuse the light, producing a warm and atmospheric glow. When illuminated, the inner surfaces subtly reflect the light, enhancing the depth and dimensionality of the design. Even when unlit, the lamp functions as a bold decorative statement piece with a strong sculptural quality. Temde, renowned for its high-quality craftsmanship and innovative designs during the mid-20th century, executed zender’s vision with precision and attention to detail. This pendant lamp is ideal above a dining table, in a living space, or in an entryway, where it brings both warmth and iconic 1960s character to the interior. The light requires one e27 light bulb.
