Love this table lamp for its strong, undeniable sculptural effects. The lighting highlights the incredible design, and provides subdued backlighting when positioned against a wall. The shape is monolithic and timeless. The base is nearly invisible and utterly confident. Even the dimmer on the cord is a work of art. The designer aimed to capture the past, the present and the future. Brass plated steel and concrete. Absolutely gorgeous.

LED lamping, 2700K, 13.5W, 1350 Lumens but very subtle lighting, not bright, Dimmable via rotary button on cord.

From the manufacturers:

The light source shines backwards, so PI is installed next to a wall, which it will illuminate to give a pleasant light.

Iota Tau Pi, three lamps that borrow their names and shapes from the Greek alphabet. A return to the essentials of language, a timeless dialogue. The object is on the border between a sculpture and an architectural building, it is functional through its light.
