constructed from metal, plastic, chrome-plated steel, and black leather, the lamp features a sophisticated multi-adjustable system. A double chrome stem is connected via a rotating clamp mechanism with chromed tightening plate and screw, complemented by pivot joints at both the stem and shade—allowing a full range of movement and precise directional lighting.

the black lacquered, funnel-shaped metal shade features a white interior with a subtle grey circumferential stripe, designed to enhance light diffusion while maintaining a clean architectural profile. The distinctive black leather-wrapped base introduces warmth and tactility, a premium material detail rarely found in fully adjustable desk lamps of the period.

part of pehrson’s 780 series, this model shares its structural system—base, twin stems, and clamp mechanism—with other variants, while differing in shade design. The 782b is distinguished by its refined funnelled shade and balanced proportions, making it one of the more elegant and sought-after versions.

an inline switch on the cord, exiting discreetly from the lower stem, ensures ease of use while preserving the lamp’s minimal aesthetic.
