AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Offered is an imposing, organically shaped ceramic table lamp with a pronounced Brutalist character. The piece consists of an hourglass-shaped base and a removable, spherical shade that features several round openings.
These perforations create a beautiful diffuse light effect when the lamp is switched on. The lamp has a very tactile, rough texture reminiscent of natural stones or coral.
