Zanuso – Table Lamp
$2,045.00
The Zanuso table lamp was originally conceived by Oluce for use as a desk lamp. However, its purpose was not intended as an operational lamp, but rather to illuminate a table in an environment that is not necessarily an office. In fact, its iconic shape finds use not only on desks, but generally on any bearing plane, its primary role being to light a portion of a room.
