AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The lamp strongly represents the postmodern design of the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, and it has clear influences from the Italian Memphis design trend (Memphis Milano).

Design and Style: The lamp is characterized by the playful and bold use of colors (color-blocking) and geometric shapes typical of that era. Thanks to its plastic structure and bright basic colors, it brings to mind the nostalgic style of the ysäri and kasari.

Multifunctional base: The green and yellow base of the lamp has integrated storage compartments and slots for pens, clips and other small desk items. The power switch is easily accessible and located directly on the cord.

Adjustability: The black flexible gooseneck and rotatable dome allow you to direct the light exactly where you want it.

Technical specifications: The lamp typically uses a small E14-base bulb (max. 40W). Its height when straight is approximately 50 cm.
