A range that elegantly recalls the style of those years, such as the use of a shade in the classic cylindrical shape and the fine contrast of the satin gold – stem and shade’s interior – against the black – the exterior of the shade, the base and the stem grip. Decorative but with a clean, linear design, 1953 is striking in its modernity, attesting to oluce’s instinct to create objects capable of transcending fashions and eras. Materials and color: metal satin gold / matt black dimensions: d cm x w cm x h 148 cm technical information: 2 x max 75w (e27) universal dimmer not ul listed.
