AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Floor lamp that emits direct and indirect light with symmetric and asymmetric distribution. It features two vertical ash blades united by chrome-plated metal fittings. The blades rotate around a central tubular light source to allow variable light emission. The rough black-iron base is set apart from the vertical blades by a collar. A custom-developed adjustable linear LED light source. The lamp can also be fitted with standard T8 LED tubes. Designed by Tobia Scarpa in 1963 and relaunched in 2025, Seki-Han is a testament to his mastery of design and woodworking. The intricate construction draws on naval techniques to shape two wooden blades that now rotate around the light source. Even when completely closed, a thin thread of light remains visible, creating a very poetic effect. Named after a traditional Japanese rice-based dish served on special occasions, Seki-Han is a living presence where the immateriality of light meets the tactile quality of wood.
