This design convinces with its imposing height of almost 2m. The filigree shaft, which takes up almost the entire height of the lamp, is striking. It widens upwards and downwards to form the luminaire head and the base. The front and back of the luminaire head are closed with diffuser and reflector panes of prismatic glass. Thus, the luminaire is primarily a ceiling floodlight, while at the same time the glass of the head shines through. The anthracite and red colour scheme is particularly eye-catching. The red core of the luminaire extends from the base over the stem to the head. In the shaft, the red element serves as a cable duct. This piece has an attribution mark,
