- Designed for Oluce, the oldest designer lighting manufacturer in Italy, dating back to 1945.

- Originally designed for a horizontal spot light bulb, this piece is sold with an standard bayonet fitting bulb.
- Melamine joint allows the inclination and repositioning of the reflector.
A fabulous piece for any desk or side table, but will particularly suit a mid century interior. For the buyer who appreciates the 20th century industrial design aesthetic.
In good condition showing wear consistent with age and use. There are some small chips to the base lacquer. The bulb provided is a standard shape with a bayonet fitting, rather than the hard to find horizontal spot bulb. The lamp has been PAT tested and is ready for the home.
