The striking design consists of a circular base in nickel plated steel with three parts leading to the central tubular steel stem. The shade is made of reeded glass which gives the lamp a pleasant and indirect light distribution. The design is completed by the circular hat-like steel ring which appears to float on the glass shade. The high quality industrial materials are applied in a very innovative and elegant way, which is exemplary for the work of the studio bbpr architects.

the lamp is in very good original condition with a beautiful, natural and even patina on the chrome parts. Currently wired with a 220v european plug.
