Starting with the idea of a small sculpture for a table, Harri Koskinen conceptualised three basic components: a base, a stem and a shade. Adding elegance and sophistication to the lamp is its brushed aluminium finish, helping it work in the home, and feel at home at work. Both the shade and base are circular, with a swivel stem connecting the two. Finally the lamp has been given a dimmer function, allowing you to control the level of light emitted to create the perfect atmosphere.
