It is a striking example of the Brutalist design approach of the era, which deliberately showcases raw materials and striking textures, and is in very good condition. Each lamp is unique; no two are alike.

The lamp's defining feature is the solid, textured glass plate with a wave-like surface, which refracts and scatters the light in a fascinating way. In combination with the dark, sculptural, raw iron body, this creates a captivating contrast of transparency and weight—typical of Brutalism. The lamp can be hung vertically or horizontally.

When switched on, the lamp produces a warm, atmospheric light with vibrant reflections in the glass, making it both a functional light source and a decorative statement piece.
