Flexible essentiality

The table version stands at the core of the reissue, representing the heart of the original modular system. Featuring a minimalist bent-metal form, the lamp is adjustable in height and angle thanks to its iconic Y-shaped support. The head, with E27 socket, reflector, and grid, combines adaptability and durability in a compact, functional design.
