its slender, structured silhouette embodies a functional aesthetic typical of the 1950s, while retaining a perceptible art deco influence.

structured around three lights, it is distinguished by its diamond-cut glass shades that capture the light with precision.
its black lacquered metal tripod base, punctuated with brass accents, establishes an architectural and balanced line.
the textured glass shades create a crisp and rhythmic interplay of reflections, almost sparkling, reinforcing the overall sculptural presence, even when switched off. When lit, it diffuses a soft, warm, and structured light.

this floor lamp uses three b22 bulbs. In the photos, small b22 bulbs have been installed. The already stunning result could be further enhanced by using longer b22 bulbs, which would illuminate the entire glass surface.

it's also easy to move, allowing you to reposition it as you wish.
