Story
A meteorite as a starting point
Hoba takes its inspiration from a meteorite. The open-mold process gives shapes that are similar from one lamp to the next but always variable, unique but repeatable.
Soft hollows
Seen from every side, the lamp appears to change continuously because of its glassy surface with soft hollows. The base is painted metal.
