AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Bilia by Fontana Arte
Directly from the manufacturer, new, in its original packaging.

Nothing more than a sphere resting, in seemingly impossible balance, on a cone that serves as a base. One of Gio Ponti's many compositional magic tricks, designed in 1932. The contrast of two elementary geometric shapes gives rise to an original object with perfect proportions. A simple composition that is enriched by the extraordinary balance of proportions and by the discreet elegance of non-reflective materials. The light is diffused and the luminous emission is enhanced by the essential geometric design.

Table lamp with E14 socket. Light bulb not included. Dimmer included. Brass finish

Tracked shipping and professional packaging.
