Notes
Mauro Martini is an Italian designer best known for his work in lighting design in the late 20th century.
A torchiere lamp (also spelled torchères, from the French word for torch) is a tall floor lamp that directs light upwards, creating ambient lighting by reflecting off the ceiling.
This lamp has a dimmer.
