Item description

Practical and functional table lamp; the base, in white Carrara marble, is in the shape of a triangle with a rounded tip, and the power button is placed on it; the robust stem of the lamp is made up of two bars with a rectangular section in satin brass; the first bar starts from the base with which it is connected by a joint and with another joint it joins the second where the lamp holder with a large lenticular-shaped glass cap is located; the joints move with a movement of only 90° and allow the lamp to be positioned in different ways (see photo). The dome that contains the lamp holder is made up of half crystal worked in a particular way, in fact the glassmaker has exploited the hundreds of air bubbles present in the glass mass during the fusion and has managed to transform the glass into a spongy agglomerate with holes, compact and opaque; this type of inclusion makes the glass look like a piece of ice; the particular composition of the crystal allows the light to spread in a unique and original way, in fact when it is turned on the lamp projects a beautiful light in the surrounding space creating a welcoming warmth, and with its frozen appearance it plays with the natural light (from the sun) even when it is off. The base is made of "Bianco di Carrara", a type of marble extracted from the quarries of the Apuan Alps in the Carrara area (Italy), universally known as one of the finest marbles in the world. It is one of the varieties of the famous "living stone". The lamp was created in a specialized lighting laboratory in Milan (Italy) between 1950 and 1953. The electrical system is functional but the wiring is European, the compatibility of the voltage in other countries must always be checked by an electrician before installation. 'use. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, polystyrene, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the items.
