Table lamp giving indirect led light in metal. Matt black base, lens shaped reflector in painted satin aluminium, painted in white inside. Manufactured by oluce, italy. Marta perla has designed siro, a semi-spherical table lamp with a disc at the front releasing in its interior an oblique light thanks to the slim led light source. Seen from the front, siro appears to consist of two two dimensional elements, giving the illusion of being perfectly balanced on a surface. It takes its name from the necessity, so typical of man, to search in celestial movements, possible links between one’s own past and cosmic phenomena. Hence siro, deriving from sirius, the brightest white star in the night sky. Materials and color: satin metal matt black base painted in white inside dimensions: small: d 19 cm x w 34 cm x h 34 cm large: d 24 cm x w 45 cm x h 45 cm technical information: small: 1 x max 8,5w (led) large: 1 x max 13w (led) founded in 1945, oluce is the oldest italian design company in the lighting sector still in operation today.
