Product Information

Full details

The Verpan Wire Table Lamp is a perfect choice for mid-century modern design enthusiasts and collectors looking to add a touch of iconic 1970s flair to their living spaces. Its primary benefit lies in its unique structural design, which combines a distinctive spiral wire base with a hemispherical shade to diffuse soft, ambient light effectively. A key caveat to consider is that the lamp requires an E14 bulb, which must be purchased separately, and the open-frame design requires regular dusting to maintain its pristine appearance.
