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 connected by chrome metal fittings. The blades rotate around a central tubular light source to allow a variable light emission. The base in rough black iron is set apart from the vertical blades by a collar. Custom-developed adjustable linear LED light source. The lamp can also be equipped with standard T8 LED tubes.
Designed by Tobia Scarpa in 1963 and relaunched in 2025, Seki-Han stands as a testimony to his mastery in design and woodworking. The intricate construction draws inspiration from naval techniques to shape two wooden blades that now rotate around the light source. Even when fully closed, a thin filament of light remains visible, creating a very poetic effect. From a name inspired by a traditional Japanese rice-based dish served on special occasions, Seki-Han is a living presence where the materiality of light meets the tactile quality of wood.
