About the Item

Low-voltage, modular, sculptural set of triangular table lamps in wood and stainless steel each with two lights with magnetic, movable perspex cylinders.

The triangular table lamps were designed to especially promote Sormani's new lighting systems with low-voltage and magnets.

The piece bears the original Sormani red stamp and has a certification in vintage original letterhead by the owner. European cabling 220V AC. To have a 110V supply (USA), it must be connected to an external transformer.
