About the Item

Elegant floor lamp in the postmodern design language from the italian manufacturer paf studion based on a design by barbaglia and colombo. a delicate design with finely executed details. At the upper end of a long shaft is a flat, round bowl. At the lower end, the stem is tucked into a heavy base plate. The filigree shaft runs diagonally and features a teardrop-shaped cross-section to provide stability. In contrast, the supply line runs vertically. The cast iron base plate is raised off the ground with feet, creating a sort of floating effect. An ornamental detail is the curved "cable channel" in the base plate. The gap is a continuation of the supply cable running outside the plate. A sliding dimmer can be used to regulate the brightness.
