Story
Craft against technology
The lamp is built on a contrast: a diffuser made by hand from blown glass against a tripod of die-cast metal, with an imposing presence. A dimmer allows the brightness to be adjusted gradually.
Two finishes for the tripod
The aluminium version of the tripod is polished by hand, while the black chrome version is coated with liquid paint.
