Each lamp is composed of a tall, slender black metal column rising from a square base, the proportions deliberately elongated to emphasise verticality. The silhouette is spare and architectural that lends the form a quiet elegance.

At the top of each stem sits a cast metal sculpted head, rendered with stylised facial features and a calm, frontal expression. The patinated metal introduces tonal variation against the matte black structure, creating a focal point just below the lamp holder. The bulb fitting rises directly above the head, reinforcing the totemic quality of the design.

The overall composition balances minimal, almost brutalist lines with figurative detail — characteristic of late 20th-century French decorative design. Used with simple shades or left bare with sculptural bulbs, the lamps function as both lighting and vertical sculptural elements within a space.
