This distinctive modernist lamp combines a translucent smoky-purple acrylic shade with a slender brass tripod base, creating an exceptionally elegant and architectural silhouette.

The large curved acrylic shade has a subtle violet-purple tone and a cylindrical form with an open, airy appearance. Its transparency allows the exposed bulb and internal brass fittings to become part of the design. The shade is mounted on a refined brass support with a three-point tripod base, giving the lamp a light, graphic profile typical of postwar Italian lighting design.

A beautiful accent lamp for a desk, console, side table, nightstand, or shelving display. When illuminated, the tinted acrylic shade creates a soft, atmospheric glow while making a striking statement even when switched off.
