Lamp representative of the Spanish design of the mid-twentieth century and the renewal of the domestic language through functional forms, modern materials and finishes of great visual presence.

The piece combines a brass structure with emerald green lacquered metal elements, creating an elegant contrast between the warm glow of the golden metal and the chromatic intensity of the lampshade. Its double ball-and-socket joint allows the point of light to be precisely directed, while the hemispherical shade effectively directs the illumination.

Metalarte was founded in 1932 as a metalworking workshop, specializing a few years later in lighting. It agglutinated innovative designs for more than sixty years. It is a pioneer in design and decorative lighting in Spain.
