Crafted from glossy black ABS plastic with a softly diffused methacrylate shade, it casts a warm, ambient light perfect for hallways, living areas, or bedrooms. This piece can be mounted either as a wall light or ceiling light and showcases the innovative use of industrial materials that defined Kartell’s output during the period.
