Monument Lamp - Square with Honed Roman Travertine, Solid Steel Billet and handblown Opal Matte Glass Louis Jobst' Monument Lamp - Square is high quality, bespoke and handmade using solid raw materials. The base is finished with a black patina and cut from 90mm thick steel billet. Markings from the process are visible and intentionally left, exposing the character of the material.
