Exceptional floor lamp of great format, conceived as a tropical palm tree. The piece is articulated in three clearly differentiated parts; the base, from which emerge lanceolate leaves and curved stems that imitate the creeping vegetation at the foot of a palm tree; the shaft, trunk of cylindrical section with annular joints that evoke the segmented trunk of a real palm tree, which presents at half height a second top of leaves that reinforces the botanical illusion; The crown, an exuberant plume of metallic palms of great flight, is articulated in multiple levels arranged radially; each leaf is worked individually, creating a beautiful play of light and shadows when the lamp is on.
