The lamp's design is distinguished by its minimalist and functional structure, which perfectly embodies the Italian design aesthetic of the 1970s. The lamp features a light beige plastic body with a rectangular shape and clean lines. Its distinctiveness lies in its articulated pantograph arm, composed of two metal segments, painted white, connected by circular aluminum joints, which allow the lamp's tilt and height to be adjusted. The base, also made of beige plastic, provides stable support and contains a groove designed to hold small items or tools. The electrical cord, visible on the back, is still the original one except for the plug, which was replaced for safety reasons and completes the design with a touch of simplicity.
