The telescopic lamp features a polished brass tube mounted on a triangular polished brass base, incorporating a discreet notch that allows the fixture to be wall-mounted. Its height is adjustable from 100 cm to 160 cm via a simple hook mechanism, while the upper section is fitted with a pivoting knuckle joint, enabling the shade to be angled in multiple directions as required. The shade is crafted from enamelled aluminium and finished in a striking ochre yellow, with the original Arteluce label retained on the interior.
