"This lamp was born out of a dissatisfaction with the existing techniques, in this case the usual dichotomy of fitting and shade. In this design, the porcelain fitting literally melts into the shade, which is also made of porcelain."

The cord is a design element; it is red, attached to a conventional (long) white cord--and is meant to be suspended from a hook on the ceiling with cord length/loop length variable depending on taste and spatial preference.

This object is not signed. It was purchased at the old fantastic SoHo store "Moss."

Very rare and difficult to find. less
