Description from the seller

An iconic and playful design object by German designer Christofer Born, the “Lichtsack” (light bag) is a unique table lamp that combines functionality with sculptural form. The base is a flexible textile sack filled with quartz sand, allowing the lamp to be shaped and positioned freely to direct the light as desired.

The adjustable spotlight head provides targeted lighting, making it suitable as a reading lamp, accent light, or decorative design piece. Its organic, soft form contrasts beautifully with the industrial metal shade, creating a distinctive and recognizable aesthetic.

Condition:
Good vintage condition with minor signs of use consistent with age. Fully functional.

Additional Information:
Flexible, shapeable base filled with sand
Adjustable spotlight
Works as both functional lighting and a design statement
