Table lamp designed by Fernando Pérez de la Oliva in the seventies. Its Space Age inspired design evokes the space age in its futuristic lines but is also inspired by the appearance of cobra snakes when they adopt an attack position. The circular base and curved foot draw a flowing line to the disc-shaped diffuser, which allows for different positions.
