The all-metal structure with its slim profiles and integrated mechanics allows for a smooth and easy movement, while the shade incorporates an 8W high-end warm LED with intelligent heat dissipation and light diffusion. Aesthetically, the design is reduced to a strict geometrical language, down to the finest details of the cast and extruded aluminium elements, complementing the sustainable longevity of the light source.
