Iconic floor lamp; its functional principle was first presented at the Milan Triennale in 1951. A very rare and important piece of modernism in excellent original condition. The system of brass tubes, which allows movement in any direction, was patented by Karl Hagenauer in 1951. Reduced construction, cast base, brass tube, two black, perforated metal shades, mount also made of brass, painted white inside, pivotable into any number of positions and height-adjustable thanks to three joints on each arm. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs, designer records, or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution, European Plug (up to 250V).The wiring of this item may be original and might need replacement, if not specified otherwise.
