Story
Decoration that is also the frame
Marc Sadler's Tite 2, from 2000, uses an unmistakable mixture of black carbon thread and fibreglass. This combination is a genius one, because it serves both as graphic decoration and as the functional frame of the lamp.
A warm beam below
When the lamp is on, the pattern of the shade stands out. The light is an intense and warm beam that points down.
