Clever construction; thanks to the vertical metal bar ( h 50 cm ) that is fixed in the black holder, the lights’ arm keeps stable. The weight of the shade keeps the curved horizontal arm from falling down. So this arm can move up and down and also swing to both sides. The shade ( dia 27 cm ) itself is also movable in all directions thanks to the ball-socket joint.The fifties Anvia designs are clearly influenced by the designs of Sarfatti, Stilnovo and Disderot.
