This sophisticated floor lamp features a striking combination of black textured lacquered metal and polished brass, creating a beautiful contrast characteristic of mid-century modern lighting design.
The elongated conical lampshade is finished in textured black lacquer, complemented by a delicate brass rim. Small ventilation holes near the upper section of the shade add a subtle functional and decorative detail.
The lampshade is mounted on an adjustable brass arm, connected to a slender vertical stem by an elegant mechanical joint. This allows the position and direction of the light to be adjusted, making the lamp particularly suitable for reading or creating atmospheric accent lighting.
The vertical stem combines black lacquered metal with brass detailing and rests on a substantial circular black metal base, providing stability while maintaining the lamp's refined and minimalist appearance.
A small white switch, positioned near the upper section of the shade, adds a charming vintage detail.
The combination of clean geometric lines, carefully considered proportions and functional adjustability reflects the innovative spirit of European lighting design during the mid-20th century.
The design is reminiscent of the adjustable lighting creations of Giuseppe Ostuni for O-Luce, particularly in its use of brass components, angular construction and directional lighting.

A wonderfully versatile and elegant vintage floor lamp, perfectly suited to a reading corner, living room, study or contemporary interior.

The lamp is adjustable in height between 70 120 cm- the rod is adjustable in angle and can be shifted forwards and backwards - the metal shade can be adjusted in angle as well -
