Description from the seller

Beautiful and neat Scandi Architect desk lamp from the 70s – Luxo PL-85, designed by the Norwegian designer JacJacobsen, a striking red architect lamp with a shiny conical shade and an adjustable double-armed frame equipped with sleek springs.

Cord length: 1.5 meters with plug and equipped with a switch at the top of the shade.
