The Iris Pendant Lamp transforms its form and the atmosphere in a room by changing its light direction and projections. By adjusting this Steampunk lamp you can have upward pointing light, a downward pointing light, or a mixture of both. The reflective interior of this hanging lamp casts intricately patterned reflections that change as the lamp's configuration is changed. This would be the perfect light for the center of a room or above your dining room table.The Iris series lamps are the fruit of years of development of the patented overlapping leaves mechanism first explored in lightexture's Steamlight series. (Patent #8,025,430) Composed of overlapping brass leaves, each Iris Lamp has two adjustable apertures; as one opens, the other closes. When the lower aperture is fully open, light shines directly down, casting textured golden light onto the surface below.Dimensions: 9" W x 9" D x 13" H.Braided Brass cord and a brass ceiling plateShips within 2-5 business days.
