About the Item

CLAY MICHIE FOR KNOLL ARTICULATING SAUCER DESK LAMP NO. 8 RARE W/ BULB DIFFUSER DIMENSIONS: Approximately 17" Tall Base: 8" Shade Diameter: 11" Here is the large, iconic, mid century award winning desk lamp penned by Clay Michie for Knoll! This lamp is an archetype of modernist mid century style with its long articulating chrome arm and saucer shade!
